New International Reader's Version

Psalm 26:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Lord, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. I have lived without blame. I have trusted in the Lord. I have never doubted him.

2. Lord, test me. Try me out. Look deep down into my heart and mind.

3. Your love is always with me. I have always lived by your truth.

4. I don't spend time with people who tell lies. I don't keep company with pretenders.

5. I hate to be with a group of sinful people. I refuse to spend time with those who are evil.
