Psalm 26 and The Church

PSALMS 26 Walking with Integrity

1Vindicate me, Adonai, for I have walked in my integrity, and trusted in Adonai without wavering. 2Probe me, Adonai, and test me, refine my mind and my heart. 3For Your love is before my eyes and I have walked in Your truth. 4I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites. 5I detest the company of evildoers, and do not sit with the wicked. 6I will wash my hands in innocence, so I can walk around Your altar, Adonai, 7hearing the voice of thanksgiving while proclaiming all Your wonders. 8Adonai, I love the House where You live, the place where Your glory dwells. 9Do not take my soul away with sinners, nor my life with people of bloodshed 10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hand is full of bribes. 11But I—I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me.12My feet stand on level ground. In congregations I will bless Adonai.
