Psalm 26

CEB

NKJV

1 Establish justice for me, LORD, because I have walked with integrity. I've trusted the LORD without wavering.
1 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, LORD; put me to the test! Purify my mind and my heart.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
3 Because your faithful love is right in front of me— I walk in your truth!
3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
4 I don't spend time with people up to no good; I don't keep company with liars.
4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I detest the company of evildoers, and I don't sit with wicked people.
5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands—they are innocent! I walk all around your altar, LORD,
6 I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7 proclaiming out loud my thanks, declaring all your wonderful deeds!
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.
8 I love the beauty of your house, LORD; I love the place where your glory resides.
8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.
9 Don't gather me up with the sinners, taking my life along with violent people
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 in whose hands are evil schemes, whose strong hands are full of bribes.
10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But me? I walk with integrity. Save me! Have mercy on me!
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 My feet now stand on level ground. I will bless the LORD in the great congregation.
12 My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
