Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David.
26 (A)Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C)trusted in the Lord (D)without wavering.
2 (E)Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
(F)Test my mind and my heart.
3 For Your (G)lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have (H)walked in Your truth.
4 I do not (I)sit with deceitful men,
Nor will I go with (J)pretenders.
5 I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall (L)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about (M)Your altar, O Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of (N)thanksgiving
And declare all Your wonders.
8 O Lord, I (O)love the habitation of Your house
And the place where Your (P)glory dwells.
9 (Q)Do not take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with (R)men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a (S)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (T)bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall (U)walk in my integrity;
(V)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 (W)My foot stands on a (X)level place;
In the (Y)congregations I shall bless the Lord.
