Psalm 26
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Declare me innocent, O LORD,
|
|
|
|
for I have acted with integrity;
|
|
I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
|
|
|
|
2. Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me.
|
|
|
|
Test my motives and my heart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
|
|
|
|
and I have lived according to your truth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. I do not spend time with liars
|
|
|
|
or go along with hypocrites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,
|
|
|
|
and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
|
|
I come to your altar, O LORD,
|
|
|
|
7. singing a song of thanksgiving
|
|
|
|
and telling of all your wonders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. I love your sanctuary, LORD,
|
|
|
|
the place where your glorious presence dwells.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Don't let me suffer the fate of sinners.
|
|
|
|
Don't condemn me along with murderers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,
|
|
|
|
and they constantly take bribes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
|
|
|
|
So redeem me and show me mercy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Now I stand on solid ground,
|
|
and I will publicly praise the LORD.
|
