Psalms 26 · Clearspring

Of David.

Vindicate Me, O LORD

¹Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.+ ²Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.+ ³For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.+ ⁴I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.+ ⁵I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.+ ⁶I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,+ ⁷to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.+ ⁸O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.+ ⁹Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,+ ¹⁰in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.+ ¹¹But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.+ ¹²My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.+
