Psalm 26

The Message Bible MSG

1 Clear my name, God; I've kept an honest shop. I've thrown in my lot with you, God, and I'm not budging.

2 Examine me, God, from head to foot, order your battery of tests. Make sure I'm fit inside and out

3 So I never lose sight of your love, But keep in step with you, never missing a beat.

4 I don't hang out with tricksters, I don't pal around with thugs;

5 I hate that pack of gangsters, I don't deal with double-dealers.

6 I scrub my hands with purest soap, then join hands with the others in the great circle, dancing around your altar, God,

7 Singing God-songs at the top of my lungs, telling God-stories.

8 God, I love living with you; your house glows with your glory.

9 When it's time for spring cleaning, don't sweep me out with the quacks and crooks,

10 Men with bags of dirty tricks, women with purses stuffed with bribe-money.

11 You know I've been aboveboard with you; now be aboveboard with me.

12 I'm on the level with you, God; I bless you every chance I get.

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations will I bless Yahweh.
