Psalm 26:8-12

New International Version

⁸ Lord, I love^(A) the house where you live,
    the place where your glory dwells.^(B)
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
    my life with those who are bloodthirsty,^(C)
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,^(D)
    whose right hands are full of bribes.^(E)
11 I lead a blameless life;
    deliver me^(F) and be merciful to me.

¹² My feet stand on level ground;^(G)
    in the great congregation^(H) I will praise the Lord.
