Psalms 26:1-12
[1]Declare me innocent, O Lord, because I do what is right and trust you completely.
[2]Examine me and test me, Lord; judge my desires and thoughts.
[3]Your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me.
[4]I do not keep company with worthless people; I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
[5]I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked.
[6]Lord, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent and march in worship round your altar.
[7]I sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell of all your wonderful deeds.
[8]I love the house where you live, O Lord, the place where your glory dwells.
[9]Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers —
[10]those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes.
[11]As for me, I do what is right; be merciful to me and save me!
[12]I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the Lord.
