Psalm 26:1-8

Complete Jewish Bible

26 ⁽⁰⁾ By David:

⁽¹⁾ Vindicate me, Adonai,
for I have lived a blameless life;
unwaveringly I trust in Adonai.
² Examine me, Adonai, test me,
search my mind and heart.
³ For your grace is there before my eyes,
and I live my life by your truth.
⁴ I have not sat with worthless folks,
I won’t consort with hypocrites,
⁵ I hate the company of evildoers,
I will not sit with the wicked.

⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence
and walk around your altar, Adonai,
⁷ lifting my voice in thanks
and proclaiming all your wonders.
⁸ Adonai, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory abides.
