26:3 Your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me.
26:4 I do not keep company with worthless people; I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
26:5 I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked.
26:6 Lord, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent and march in worship around your altar.
26:7 I sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell of all your wonderful deeds.
26:8 I love the house where you live, O Lord, the place where your glory dwells.
26:9 Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers—
26:10 those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes.
26:11 As for me, I do what is right; be merciful to me and save me!
26:12 I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the Lord.
