Psalm 26:1-8

New American Standard Bible

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.
³ For Your ^[d](G)goodness is before my eyes,
And I have ^(H)walked in Your truth.
⁴ I do not ^(I)sit with ^[e]deceitful people,
Nor will I go with ^[f](J)pretenders.
⁵ I ^(K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
⁶ I will ^(L)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go around ^(M)Your altar, Lord,
⁷ That I may proclaim with the voice of ^(N)thanksgiving
And declare all Your ^[g]wonders.
