Psalm 26

By David.

1Judge me, ForeverOne, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in ForeverOne without wavering.

2Examine me, ForeverOne, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

4I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, ForeverOne; 7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

8ForeverOne, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

9Don't gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men; 10in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless ForeverOne.
