Psalm 26:1-5

Common English Bible

26 Establish justice for me, Lord,
    because I have walked with integrity.
    I’ve trusted the Lord without wavering.
² Examine me, Lord; put me to the test!
    Purify^[a] my mind^[b] and my heart.
³ Because your faithful love is right in front of me—
    I walk in your truth!
⁴ I don’t spend time with people up to no good;
    I don’t keep company with liars.
⁵ I detest the company of evildoers,
    and I don’t sit with wicked people.
