1
Lord
,[a] I turn to You.[b](a)
2 My God, I trust in You.
Do not let me be disgraced;(b)
do not let my enemies gloat over me.(c)
3 No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;(d)
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.(e)
4 Make Your ways known to me,
Lord
;
teach me Your paths.(f)
5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me,(g)
for You are the God of my salvation;(h)
I wait for You all day long.(i)
6 Remember,
Lord
, Your compassion
and Your faithful love,
for they have existed from antiquity.[c](j)
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth(k)
or my acts of rebellion;(l)
in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me
because of Your goodness,
Lord
.(m)
8 The
Lord
is good and upright;(n)
therefore He shows sinners the way.(o)
9 He leads the humble in what is right(p)
and teaches them His way.(q)
10 All the
Lord
's ways show faithful love and truth
to those who keep His covenant and decrees.(r)
11 Because of Your name, Yahweh,
forgive my sin, for it is great.(s)
12 Who is the man who fears the
Lord
?(t)
He will show him the way he should choose.(u)
13 He will live a good life,
and his descendants will inherit the land.[d](v)
14 The secret counsel of the
Lord
is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.(w)
15 My eyes are always on the
Lord
,
for He will pull my feet out of the net.(x)
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am alone and afflicted.(y)
17 The distresses of my heart increase;[e](z)
bring me out of my sufferings.(aa)
18 Consider my affliction and trouble,(ab)
and take away all my sins.(ac)
19 Consider my enemies; they are numerous,(ad)
and they hate me violently.(ae)
20 Guard me and deliver me;(af)
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in You.(ag)
21 May integrity and what is right
watch over me,
for I wait for You.(ah)
22 God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.(ai)
Chapter 26
Psalm 26
Prayer for Vindication
Davidic.
1 Vindicate me,
Lord
,
because I have lived with integrity
and have trusted in the
Lord
without wavering.(a)
2 Test me,
Lord
, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.(b)
3 For Your faithful love is before my eyes,
and I live by Your truth.(c)
4 I do not sit with the worthless
or associate with hypocrites.
5 I hate a crowd of evildoers,
and I do not sit with the wicked.(d)
6 I wash my hands[a] in innocence(e)
and go around Your altar,
Lord
,(f)
7 raising my voice in thanksgiving(g)
and telling about Your wonderful works.(h)
8
Lord
, I love the house where You dwell,
the place where Your glory resides.(i)
9 Do not destroy me along with sinners,
or my life along with men of bloodshed(j)
10 in whose hands are evil schemes
and whose right hands are filled with bribes.(k)
11 But I live with integrity;
redeem me and be gracious to me.(l)
12 My foot stands on level ground;(m)
I will praise the
Lord
in the assemblies.(n)
