Psalm 26:9

Verse 9 of 12. The 26th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

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

10in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
