26:5 I hate the mob 1 of evil men,
and do not associate 2 with the wicked.
26:6 I maintain a pure lifestyle, 3
so I can appear before your altar, 4 O Lord,
26:7 to give you thanks, 5
and to tell about all your amazing deeds. 6
26:8 O Lord, I love the temple where you live, 7
the place where your splendor is revealed. 8
26:9 Do not sweep me away 9 with sinners,
or execute me along with violent people, 10
26:10 who are always ready to do wrong 11
or offer a bribe. 12
26:11 But I have integrity! 13
Rescue me 14 and have mercy on me!
26:12 I am safe, 15
and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.
