# Chapter 26
|
|
1 Vindicate me, Lord,
|
|
because I have lived with integrity
|
|
and have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
|
|
2 Test me, Lord, and try me;
|
|
examine my heart and mind.
|
|
3 For your faithful love guides me,
|
|
and I live by your truth.
|
|
4 I do not sit with the worthless
|
|
or associate with hypocrites.
|
|
5 I hate a crowd of evildoers,
|
|
and I do not sit with the wicked.
|
|
6 I wash my hands in innocence
|
|
and go around your altar, Lord,
|
|
7 raising my voice in thanksgiving
|
|
and telling about your wondrous works.
|
|
8 Lord, I love the house where you dwell,
|
|
the place where your glory resides.
|
|
9 Do not destroy me along with sinners,
|
|
or my life along with men of bloodshed
|
|
10 in whose hands are evil schemes
|
|
and whose right hands are filled with bribes.
|
|
11 But I live with integrity;
|
|
redeem me and be gracious to me.
|
|
12 My foot stands on level ground;
|
|
I will bless the Lord in the assemblies. |
