26:1  Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

26:2  Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.

26:3  For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

26:4  I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders.

26:5  I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.

26:6  I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD,

26:7  That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders.

26:8  O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells.

26:9  Do not take my soul away {along} with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

26:10  In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

26:11  But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

26:12  My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD.
