Psalms 26 : 1 - 12
Chapter 26
1 | Vindicate me, O LORD, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip.
|
2 | Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
|
3 | For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
|
4 | I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
|
5 | I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.
|
6 | I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O LORD,
|
7 | That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.
|
8 | LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.
|
9 | Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
|
10 | In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
|
11 | But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.
|
12 | My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
