Psalm 26:5
Verse 5 of 12. The 26th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
2Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,
7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men
