Psalms 26
26
Declare Me Innocent
King David’s poetic praise to God
David’s Trust and Transparency
1Yahweh, be my judge and declare me innocent!
Clear my name, for I walk in integrity
and trust you without wavering.
2Yahweh, you can scrutinize me.
Refine my heart and probe my every thought.
Put me to the test and you’ll find me true.
3I will never lose sight of your steadfast love for me.
Your faithfulness has steadied my steps.
David’s Truthfulness
4I won’t keep company with tricky, two-faced men,
nor will I go the way of those with hidden motives.
5I despise the sinner’s hangouts.
You won’t find me walking with the wicked.
6-7When I come to your altar, Yahweh,
I’ll be clean before you, # 26:6–7 Or “I wash my hands in innocence.”
approaching with songs of thanksgiving,
singing songs of your mighty miracles.
David’s Testimony
8Yahweh, I love to live in your house, this dwelling place of dazzling glory!
9Don’t treat me as one of these scheming sinners
who plot violence against the innocent.
10Look how they devise their wicked plans;
their hands are always ready to receive a bribe.
11I’m not like them, Lord—not at all.
Save me, redeem me with your mercy,
for I have chosen to walk only in what is right.
12Among the worshipers I will praise Yahweh,
for I am safe and secure because of you!

PSALM 26
Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David.
1 # Lit Judge Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity,
And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my #Lit kidneys, figurative for inner manmind and my heart.
3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked in Your truth.
4I do not sit with #Or worthless men; lit men of falsehooddeceitful men,
Nor will I go with pretenders.
5I hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving
And declare all Your wonders.
8O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house
And the place where Your glory dwells.
9Do not take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
10In whose hands is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12My foot stands on a level place;
In the congregations I shall bless the Lord.
