American Standard Version

Psalm 26:5-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

6. I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

7. That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

8. Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9. Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

10. In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12. My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
