Psalm 26:6-12

New King James Version

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
⁷That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all Your wondrous works.
⁸Lord, ^(A)I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place ^[a]where Your glory dwells.

⁹^(B)Do^[b] not gather my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
¹⁰In whose hands is a sinister scheme,
And whose right hand is full of ^(C)bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;
Redeem me and be merciful to me.
¹²^(D)My foot stands in an even place;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
