26:1 Of David. O Lord, come to my defense, for I have lived a blameless life. I have placed my trust in the Lord, and never have I wavered in that regard.
26:2 Test me, O Lord, and try me; probe my heart and my mind.
26:3 For your kindness is before my eyes, and I am constantly guided by your truth.
26:4 I do not sit in the company of deceivers, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
26:5 I abhor the assembly of the wicked, and I refuse to associate with evildoers.
26:6 I wash my hands in innocence and join the procession around your altar, O Lord,
26:7 giving voice to your praises and proclaiming all your wondrous deeds.
26:8 I love the house where you dwell, O Lord, the place where your glory resides.
26:9 Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with those who thirst for blood,
26:10 whose hands carry out evil schemes, and whose right hands are full of bribes.
26:11 Rather, I choose to walk in innocence; redeem me and be merciful to me.
26:12 My feet stand on level ground; in the full assembly I will bless the Lord.
