Psalm 26. Judica me, Domine.

1. Give judgment for me, O Lord, for I have lived with integrity; *
   I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.
2. Test me, O Lord, and try me; *
   examine my heart and my mind.
3. For your love is before my eyes; *
   I have walked faithfully with you.
4. I have not sat with the worthless, *
   nor do I consort with the deceitful.
5. I have hated the company of evildoers; *
   I will not sit down with the wicked.
6. I will wash my hands in innocence, O Lord, *
   that I may go in procession round your altar,
7. Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving *
   and recounting all your wonderful deeds.
8. Lord, I love the house in which you dwell *
   and the place where your glory abides.
9. Do not sweep me away with sinners, *
   nor my life with those who thirst for blood,
10. Whose hands are full of evil plots, *
    and their right hand full of bribes.
11. As for me, I will live with integrity; *
    redeem me, O Lord, and have pity on me.
12. My foot stands on level ground; *
    in the full assembly I will bless the Lord.
