Psalms 26:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
