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