Psalm 26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.

A Psalm of David.

26 ^[a]^(A)Vindicate me, Lord, for I have ^(B)walked in my integrity,
And I have ^(C)trusted in the Lord ^[b]^(D)without wavering.
²^(E)Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test;
^(F)Refine my ^[c]mind and my heart.
³For Your ^(G)^[d]goodness is before my eyes,
And I have ^(H)walked in Your truth.
⁴I do not ^(I)sit with ^[e]deceitful people,
Nor will I go with ^[f]^(J)pretenders.
⁵I ^(K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
⁶I will ^(L)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go around ^(M)Your altar, Lord,
⁷That I may proclaim with the voice of ^(N)thanksgiving
And declare all Your ^[g]wonders.

⁸Lord, I ^(O)love the dwelling of Your house,
And the place ^[h]where Your ^(P)glory remains.
⁹^(Q)Do not ^[i]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with ^(R)men of bloodshed,
¹⁰In whose hands is a ^(S)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of ^(T)bribes.
¹¹But as for me, I will ^(U)walk in my integrity;
^(V)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
¹²^(W)My foot stands on ^(X)level ground;
In the ^(Y)congregations I will bless the Lord.
