Psalms 26

¹Declare me innocent, O LORD, because I do what is right and trust you completely.

²Examine me and test me, LORD; judge my desires and thoughts.

³Your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me.

⁴I do not keep company with worthless people; I have nothing to do with hypocrites.

⁵I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked.

⁶LORD, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent and march in worship around your altar.

⁷I sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell of all your wonderful deeds.

⁸I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.

⁹Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers---

¹⁰those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes.

¹¹As for me, I do what is right; be merciful to me and save me!

¹²I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the LORD.
