26:1 This is a song that David wrote. Lord, I always try to do what is right. I continue to trust you all the time. So please show that I am not guilty of wrong things.
26:2 Test me, Lord, and see how I have lived. Look into my mind and see my thoughts.
26:3 I always know that I can trust you, because of your faithful love. So I live to please you.
26:4 I do not become a friend of people who tell lies. I do not join together with hypocrites.
26:5 I keep away from any crowd of evil people. I do not become a friend of wicked people.
26:6 I wash my hands as a sign that I live in a pure way. I will worship you at your altar, Lord.
26:7 I will sing aloud to thank you. I will tell people about all the great things that you have done.
26:8 Lord, I love the temple that is your house. It is the place where we clearly see your glory.
26:9 Do not take away my life, as you do with sinners. Do not punish me with death, as you do with murderers.
26:10 Those wicked people are always ready to do evil things. They use bribes to get what they want.
26:11 But I always try to do what is right. Please save me and be kind to me!
26:12 Now I stand in a safe place. I will praise the Lord when his people meet together to worship him.
