Psalm 26*Prayer of Innocence1Of David. I Judge me, Lord! For I have walked in my integrity.a In the Lord I trust; I do not falter. 2Examine me, Lord, and test me; search my heart and mind.b 3Your mercy is before my eyes; I walk guided by your faithfulness.c II 4I do not sit with worthless men, nor with hypocrites do I mingle. 5I hate an evil assembly; with the wicked I do not sit. 6I will wash my hands* in innocenced so that I may process around your altar, Lord, 7To hear the sound of thanksgiving, and recount all your wondrous deeds. 8Lord, I love the refuge of your house, the site of the dwelling-place of your glory.e III Book IntroductionFootnotesScripture texts, prefaces, introductions, footnotes and cross references used in this work are taken from the New American Bible, revised edition © 2010, 1991, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC All Rights Reserved.
