26:1 A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption
A Psalm of David.
Vindicate me, O LORD,For I have walked in my integrity.I have also trusted in the LORD;I shall not slip. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;Try my mind and my heart. 3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,And I have walked in Your truth. 4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals,Nor will I go in with hypocrites. 5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers,And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence;So I will go about Your altar, O LORD, 7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,And tell of all Your wondrous works. 8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house,And the place where Your glory dwells.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners,Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, 10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme,And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;Redeem me and be merciful to me. 12 My foot stands in an even place;In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
NKJV
