26:1 A psalm of David. Lord, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. I have lived without blame. I have trusted in the Lord. I have never doubted him.
26:2 Lord, test me. Try me out. Look deep down into my heart and mind.
26:3 I have always remembered your love that never fails. I have always depended on the fact that you are faithful.
26:4 I don’t spend time with people who tell lies. I don’t keep company with pretenders.
26:5 I hate to be with a group of sinful people. I refuse to spend time with those who are evil.
26:6 I wash my hands to show that I’m not guilty. Lord, I come near your altar.
26:7 I shout my praise to you. I tell about all the wonderful things you have done.
26:8 Lord, I love the house where you live. I love the place where your glory is.
26:9 Don’t destroy me together with sinners. Don’t take away my life along with murderers.
26:10 Their hands are always planning to do evil. Their right hands are full of money that has bought their help.
26:11 But I live without blame. Save me from harm and treat me with kindness.
26:12 My feet stand on level ground. In the whole community I will praise the Lord.
