The Lord’s Holy Habitation and Dwelling Place: Publicly Praise His Presence! — Psalm 26 #2

Psalm 26 NLT

A psalm of David.

¹Declare me innocent, O Lord,
    for I have acted with integrity;
    I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
²Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.
    Test my motives and my heart.
³For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
    and I have lived according to your truth.
⁴I do not spend time with liars
    or go along with hypocrites.
⁵I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,
    and I refuse to join in with the wicked.

⁶I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
    I come to your altar, O Lord,
⁷singing a song of thanksgiving
    and telling of all your wonders.
⁸I love your sanctuary, Lord,
    the place where your glorious presence dwells.
Psalm 26:6-8

⁹Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
    Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
¹⁰Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,
    and they constantly take bribes.
¹¹But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
    So redeem me and show me mercy.
¹²Now I stand on solid ground,
    and I will publicly praise the Lord.

¹O Lord, I give my life to you.
²    I trust in you, my God!

³No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,

⁴Show me the right path, O Lord;
    point out the road for me to follow.
⁵Lead me by your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God who saves me.
    All day long I put my hope in you.
⁶Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
    which you have shown from long ages past.
⁷Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
    Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
    for you are merciful, O Lord.

⁸The Lord is good and does what is right;
    he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
⁹He leads the humble in doing right,
    teaching them his way.
¹⁰The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness
    all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.

¹¹For the honor of your name, O Lord,
    forgive my many, many sins.
¹²Who are those who fear the Lord?
    He will show them the path they should choose.
¹³They will live in prosperity,
    and their children will inherit the land.
¹⁴The Lord is a friend to those who fear him.
    He teaches them his covenant.
¹⁵My eyes are always on the Lord,
    for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
