Plea For Justice and Declaration of Righteousness
For Your steadfast love is before my eyes. –Psalm 26:3A
Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
Prove me, O Lord and try me; Test my heart and mind. For Your steadfast love is before my eyes and I walk in faithfulness to you.
I do not sit with the worthless nor do I consort with hypocrites; I hate the company of evildoers and I will not sit with the wicked. (See Also: 1 Corinthians 15:33 “Bad company ruins good morals.”)
I wash my hands in innocence and go around Your Alter, O Lord, singing aloud a Song of Thanksgiving and telling all Your wondrous deeds.
O Lord, I love the House in which You dwell and the place where Your glory abides.
Do not sweep me away with sinners, nor my life with the bloodthirsty, those in whose hands are evil devices and whose right hands are full of bribes.
As for me, I walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be gracious to me.
My foot stands on level ground in the great congregation I will bless the Lord. –Psalm 26:1-12
