Psalm 26

A psalm of David.

1 Declare me innocent, O LORD,
for I have acted with integrity;
I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.2 Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me.
Test my motives and my heart.3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
and I have lived according to your truth.4 I do not spend time with liars
or go along with hypocrites.5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,
and I refuse to join in with the wicked.6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
I come to your altar, O LORD,7 singing a song of thanksgiving
and telling of all your wonders.8 I love your sanctuary, LORD,
the place where your glorious presence dwells.9 Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
Don’t condemn me along with murderers.10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,
and they constantly take bribes.11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
So redeem me and show me mercy.12 Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the LORD.

Psalm 27

A psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?2 When evil people come to devour me,
when my enemies and foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.3 Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident.4 The one thing I ask of the LORD—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
delighting in the LORD’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple.5 For he will conceal me there when troubles come;
he will hide me in his sanctuary.
He will place me out of reach on a high rock.6 Then I will hold my head high
above my enemies who surround me.
At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy,
singing and praising the LORD with music.7 Hear me as I pray, O LORD.
Be merciful and answer me!8 My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.”9 Do not turn your back on me.
Do not reject your servant in anger.
You have always been my helper.
Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me,
O God of my salvation!10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,
the LORD will hold me close.11 Teach me how to live, O LORD.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me.12 Do not let me fall into their hands.
For they accuse me of things I’ve never done;
with every breath they threaten me with violence.13 Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness
while I am here in the land of the living.14 Wait patiently for the LORD.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.

Psalm 28

A psalm of David.

1 I pray to you, O LORD, my rock.
Do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you are silent,
I might as well give up and die.2 Listen to my prayer for mercy
as I cry out to you for help,
as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.3 Do not drag me away with the wicked—
with those who do evil—
those who speak friendly words to their neighbors
while planning evil in their hearts.4 Give them the punishment they so richly deserve!
Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness.
Pay them back for all their evil deeds!
Give them a taste of what they have done to others.5 They care nothing for what the LORD has done
or for what his hands have made.
So he will tear them down,
and they will never be rebuilt!6 Praise the LORD!
For he has heard my cry for mercy.7 The LORD is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.8 The LORD gives his people strength.
He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.9 Save your people!
Bless Israel, your special possession.t
Lead them like a shepherd,
and carry them in your arms forever.
