26:1 By David: Vindicate me, Adonai, for I have lived a blameless life; unwaveringly I trust in Adonai.
26:2 Examine me, Adonai, test me, search my mind and heart.
26:3 For your grace is there before my eyes, and I live my life by your truth.
26:4 I have not sat with worthless folks, I won’t consort with hypocrites,
26:5 I hate the company of evildoers, I will not sit with the wicked.
26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence and walk around your altar, Adonai,
26:7 lifting my voice in thanks and proclaiming all your wonders.
26:8 Adonai, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory abides.
26:9 Don’t include me with sinners or my life with the bloodthirsty.
26:10 In their hands are evil schemes; their right hands are full of bribes.
26:11 As for me, I will live a blameless life. Redeem me and show me favor.
26:12 My feet are planted on level ground; in the assemblies I will bless Adonai.
