Psalm 26
[By David.]
The Prayer of an Innocent Person

¹Show that I am right, LORD!

I stay true to myself,

and I have trusted you without doubting.

²Test my thoughts and find out what I am like.

³I never forget your kindness,

and I am always faithful to you.

⁴I don't spend my time with worthless liars

⁵

or go with evil crowds.

⁶I wash my hands, LORD, to show my innocence,

and I worship at your altar,

⁷

while gratefully singing about your wonders.

⁸I love the temple where you live,

and where your glory shines.

⁹Don't sweep me away, as you do sinners.

Don't punish me with death as you do those people

who are brutal ¹⁰or full of meanness

or who bribe others.

¹¹I stay true to myself. Be kind and rescue me.

¹²Now I stand on solid ground!

And when your people meet, I will praise you, LORD.
