26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and test me!
Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives! 1
26:3 For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, 2
and your loyalty continually motivates me. 3
26:4 I do not associate 4 with deceitful men,
or consort 5 with those who are dishonest. 6
26:5 I hate the mob 7 of evil men,
and do not associate 8 with the wicked.
26:6 I maintain a pure lifestyle, 9
so I can appear before your altar, 10 O Lord,
