Psalm 26

^{Tools
1} Vindicate me, LORD, because I have walked in integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. ^{Tools
2} Examine me, LORD, and inspect me! Test my heart and mind. ^{Tools
3} For your gracious love precedes me, and I continuously walk according to your truth.

^{Tools
4} I do not sit with those committed to what is false, nor do I travel with hypocrites. ^{Tools
5} I hate the company of those who practice evil, nor do I sit with the wicked. ^{Tools
6} I wash my hands innocently. I go around your altar, LORD, ^{Tools
7} so I may praise you loudly with thanksgiving and declare all your wondrous acts.

^{Tools
8} LORD, I love the dwelling place that is your house, the place where your glory resides. ^{Tools
9} Do not group me with sinners, nor include me with men who shed blood. ^{Tools
10} Their hands are filled with wicked schemes, and their right hands with bribes.

^{Tools
11} But as for me, I walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me! ^{Tools
12} My feet stand on level ground; among the worshiping congregations I will bless the LORD. Davidic
