Psalm 26

1Yahweh, show that I ◄am innocent/have not done what is wrong►. I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted that you would help me. 2Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; evaluate what I think [IDM]. 3I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth. 4I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites. 5I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people. 6Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I ◄am innocent/have not done what was wrong►. As I join with others marching around your altar, 7we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you have done. 8Yahweh, I love to be in the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears. 9Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die, 10and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes. 11But as for me, I always try to do what is right. be kind to me and rescue me.
