New Testament

Psalms 26:4-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. I don’t spend time with people up to no good;I don’t keep company with liars.

5. I detest the company of evildoers,and I don’t sit with wicked people.

6. I wash my hands—they are innocent!I walk all around your altar, Lord,

7. proclaiming out loud my thanks,declaring all your wonderful deeds!

8. I love the beauty of your house, Lord;I love the place where your glory resides.

9. Don’t gather me up with the sinners,taking my life along with violent people

10. in whose hands are evil schemes,whose strong hands are full of bribes.

11. But me? I walk with integrity.Save me! Have mercy on me!

12. My feet now stand on level ground.I will bless the Lord in the great congregation.
