Psalm 26
A Prayer of Integrity
Vindicate me, O LORD,
for I have walked in my integrity,
and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
Prove me, O LORD, and try me;
test my heart and my mind.
For your steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I walk in your truth.
I do not sit with men of falsehood,
nor do I go with those who hide what they are.
I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.
I wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O LORD,
proclaiming thanksgiving aloud
and telling all your wondrous deeds.
O LORD, I love the dwelling of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
