Psalm 26
HCSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1Davidic. Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 1Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2Test me, LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind. 2Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart.
3For Your faithful love is before my eyes, and I live by Your truth. 3For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth.
4I do not sit with the worthless or associate with hypocrites. 4I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.
5I hate a crowd of evildoers, and I do not sit with the wicked. 5I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence and go around Your altar, LORD, 6I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD,
7raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about Your wonderful works. 7singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders.
8 LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides. 8I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells.
9Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed 9Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
10in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes. 10Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes.
11But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me. 11But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy.
12My foot stands on level ground; I will praise the LORD in the assemblies. 12Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD.
