Psalms 26:5-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. I hate a crowd of evildoers,and I do not sit with the wicked.

6. I wash my hands in innocence and go around Your altar, Lord,

7. raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about Your wonderful works.

8. Lord, I love the house where You dwell,the place where Your glory resides.

9. Do not destroy me along with sinners,or my life along with men of bloodshed

10. in whose hands are evil schemesand whose right hands are filled with bribes.

11. But I live with integrity;redeem me and be gracious to me.

12. My foot stands on level ground; I will praise the Lord in the assemblies.
