2Test me, O LORD, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.
3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes,
and I have walked in Your truth.
4I do not sit with deceitful men,
nor keep company with hypocrites.
5I hate the mob of evildoers,
and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence
that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,
7to raise my voice in thanksgiving
and declare all Your wonderful works.
— Psalm 26:2-7
