Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 26:4-12 New International Version (NIV)

4. I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.

5. I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6. I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, Lord,

7. proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

8. Lord, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.

9. Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

10. in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11. I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.

12. My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.
