# Chapter 26
|
|
1 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. |
