New Testament

Psalms 26:1-9 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Lord, defend me because I have lived an innocent life.I have trusted the Lord and never doubted.

2. Lord, try me and test me;look closely into my heart and mind.

3. I see your love,and I live by your truth.

4. I do not spend time with liars,nor do I make friends with those who hide their sin.

5. I hate the company of evil people,and I won’t sit with the wicked.

6. I wash my hands to show I am innocent,and I come to your altar, Lord.

7. I raise my voice in praiseand tell of all the miracles you have done.

8. Lord, I love the Temple where you live,where your glory is.

9. Do not kill me with those sinnersor take my life with those murderers.
