26:1 A song of David. Lord, you be the judge and prove that I have lived a pure life. I have depended on you, Lord, to keep me from falling.
26:2 Look closely at me, Lord, and test me. Judge my deepest thoughts and emotions.
26:3 I always remember your faithful love. I depend on your faithfulness.
26:4 I don’t run around with troublemakers. I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
26:5 I hate being around evil people. I refuse to join those gangs of crooks.
26:6 Lord, I wash my hands to make myself pure, so that I can come to your altar.
26:7 I sing a song to give you thanks, and I tell about all the wonderful things you have done.
26:8 Lord, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory is.
26:9 Lord, don’t treat me like one of those sinners. Don’t kill me with those murderers.
26:10 They are guilty of cheating people. They take bribes to do wrong.
26:11 But I am innocent, so be kind to me and save me.
26:12 I am safe from all danger as I stand here praising you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.
