19Protect my life and deliver me; *
let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you.

20Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, *
for my hope has been in you.

21Deliver Israel, O God, *
out of all his troubles.

26Judica me, Domine

1Give judgment for me, O Lord,
for I have lived with integrity; *
I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.

2Test me, O Lord, and try me; *
examine my heart and my mind.

3For your love is before my eyes; *
I have walked faithfully with you.

4I have not sat with the worthless, *
nor do I consort with the deceitful.

5I have hated the company of evildoers; *
I will not sit down with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocence, O Lord, *
that I may go in procession round your altar,

7Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving *
and recounting all your wonderful deeds.

8Lord, I love the house in which you dwell *
and the place where your glory abides.

9Do not sweep me away with sinners, *
nor my life with those who thirst for blood,

616Psalm 26
