Psalm 26 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 26

¹Of David. [1] Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.

²Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;

³for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

⁴I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.

⁵I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.

⁶I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,

⁷proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

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

⁹Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

¹⁰in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

¹¹I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.

¹²My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
