26 ‎(1) Of David.
Vindicate me, O LORD,
for I have walked without blame;
I have trusted in the LORD;
I have not faltered. ‎(2) Probe me, O LORD, and try me,
test my heart and mind; ‎(3) for my eyes are on Your steadfast love;
I have set my course by it. ‎(4) I do not consort with scoundrels,
or mix with hypocrites; ‎(5) I detest the company of evil men,
and do not consort with the wicked; ‎(6) I wash my hands in innocence,
and walk around Your altar, O LORD, ‎(7) raising my voice in thanksgiving,
and telling all Your wonders. ‎(8) O LORD, I love Your temple abode,
the dwelling-place of Your glory. ‎(9) Do not sweep me away with sinners,
or [snuff out] my life with murderers, ‎(10) who have schemes at their fingertips,
and hands full of bribes. ‎(11) But I walk without blame;
redeem me, have mercy on me! ‎(12) My feet are on level ground.
In assemblies I will bless the LORD.
