About this chapterDavid asks God to vindicate him because he has lived with integrity and trusted the Lord without wavering. He invites God to examine his heart and mind. He has avoided the company of deceitful and wicked people and loves the place where God's glory dwells, where he washes his hands and gives thanks. He asks not to be swept away with sinners, and ends by declaring that his foot stands on level ground and he will bless the Lord among the congregation.

Psalms 26

Berean Standard Bible12 verses · 1 min read

1Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 2Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind. 3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth. 4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites. 5I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked. 6I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD, 7to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works. 8O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides. 9Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed, 10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. 11But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me. 12My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
