Psalms 26 / 150
- 1
(I Will Bless the Lord)Of David.
Vindicate me, O Lord,
for I have walked in my integrity,
and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
- 2
Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
test my heart and my mind.
- 3
For your steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I walk in your faithfulness.
- 4
I do not sit with men of falsehood,
nor do I consort with hypocrites.
- 5
I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.
- 6
I wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O Lord,
- 7
proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
and telling all your wondrous deeds.
- 8
O Lord, I love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
- 9
Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
- 10
in whose hands are evil devices,
and whose right hands are full of bribes.
- 11
But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
- 12
My foot stands on level ground;
in the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
