Psalms 26:1-5

¹Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

²Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

³For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

⁴I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

⁵I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
