Psalm 26
NET Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew International Version
1By David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering. 1Of David. Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.
2Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives! 2Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
3For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me. 3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
4I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest. 4I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
5I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked. 5I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD, 6I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
7to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds. 7proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8O LORD, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed. 8LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people, 9Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,
10who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe. 10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
11But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me! 11I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
12I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the LORD. 12My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
