भजन संहिता 26

1Of David.Vindicate me, O ETERNAL One,for I have walked without blame;I have trusted in GOD;I have not faltered.

2Probe me, O ETERNAL One, and try me,test my heart and mind;

3for my eyes are on Your steadfast love;I have set my course by it.

4I do not consort with scoundrels,or mix with hypocrites;

5I detest the company of evildoers,and do not consort with the wicked;

6I wash my hands in innocence,and walk around Your altar, O ETERNAL One,

7raising my voice in thanksgiving,and telling all Your wonders.

8O ETERNAL One, I love Your temple abode,the dwelling-place of Your glory.

9Do not sweep me away with sinners,or [snuff out] my life with murderers,

10who have schemes at their fingertips,and hands full of bribes.

11But I walk without blame;redeem me, have mercy on me!

12My feet are on level ground.In assemblies I will bless GOD.
