Psalm 26
26:1 By David. Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have integrity, and I trust in the Lord without wavering. 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives! 26:3 For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me. 26:4 I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest. 26:5 I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked. 26:6 I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O Lord, 26:7 to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds. 26:8 O Lord, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed. 26:9 Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people, 26:10 who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe. 26:11 But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me! 26:12 I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.
