Psalm 26 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Declare Me Innocent

26 King David’s poetic praise to God
1 You be my judge and declare me innocent!
    Clear my name, for I have tried my best to keep your laws
    and to trust you without wavering.

2 Lord, you can scrutinize me.
    Refine my heart and probe my every thought.
    Put me to the test and you’ll find it’s true.
3 I will never lose sight of your love for me.

    Your faithfulness has steadied my steps.
4 I won’t keep company with tricky, two-faced men,
    nor will I go the way of those who defraud with hidden motives.
5 I despise the sinner’s hangouts, refusing to even enter them.
    You won’t find me walking among the wicked.
6–7 When I come before you, I’ll come clean,[a]
    approaching your altar with songs of thanksgiving,
    singing the songs of your mighty miracles.
8 Lord, I love your home, this place of dazzling glory,
    bathed in the splendor and light of your presence!
9 Don’t treat me as one of these scheming sinners
    who plot violence against the innocent.
10 Look how they devise their wicked plans,
    holding the innocent hostage for ransom.
11 I’m not like them, Lord—not at all.
    Save me, redeem me with your mercy,
    for I have chosen to walk only in what is right.
12 I will proclaim it publicly in every congregation,
    and because of you, Lord,
    I will take my stand on righteousness alone!
