PSALMS 26 INNOCENCE PRAYER
1 JUDGE me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

1 Of David. Judge me, LORD! For I have walked in my integrity. In the LORD I trust; I do not falter.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me; search my heart and mind.
3 Your mercy is before my eyes; I walk guided by your faithfulness.
4 I do not sit with worthless men, nor with hypocrites do I mingle.
5 I hate an evil assembly; with the wicked I do not sit.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence so that I may process around your altar, Lord,
7 To hear the sound of thanksgiving, and recount all your wondrous deeds.
8 Lord, I love the refuge of your house, the site of the dwelling-place of your glory.
9 Do not take me away with sinners, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 In whose hands there is a plot, their right hands full of bribery.
11 But I walk in my integrity; redeem me, be gracious to me!
12 My foot stands on level ground; in assemblies I will bless the LORD.
In this Psalm David prays that the Lord will recognize his integrity. He declares that he has kept separate from sinners and has loved and identified himself with the worship of the Lord at the temple. On this basis he asks not to be dealt with as sinners.
