# Psalm 26 Of David. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind. 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites. 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O LORD, 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds. 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men, 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes. 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. My foot stands on level ground; in the great assembly I will bless the LORD.
