T4T PSA Chapter 26

A psalm written by David

26 Yahweh, show that I ◄am innocent/have not done what is wrong►.

I always do what is right;

I have trusted in you and never doubted that you would help me.

2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me;

thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].

3 I never forget that you faithfully love me,

I conduct my life according to your truth.

4 I do not spend my time with liars

and I stay away from hypocrites.

5 I do not like to be with evil people,

and I avoid wicked people.

6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I ◄am innocent/have not done what was wrong►.

As I join with others marching around your altar,

7 we sing songs to thank you,

and we tell others the wonderful things that you have done.

8 Yahweh, I love to be in the temple where you live,

in the place where your glory appears.

9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners;

do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,

10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things

and people who are always taking bribes.

11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right.

So be kind to me and rescue me.

12 I stand in places where I am safe,

and when all your people gather together, I praise you.
