because I have lived with integrity

and have trusted in the Lord without wavering. # 26:1 2Kg 20:3; Ps 7:8

examine my heart and mind. # 26:2 Ps 7:9; 17:3; 139:23

or my life along with men of bloodshed # 26:9 Ps 28:3

10in whose hands are evil schemes

redeem me and be gracious to me. # 26:11 Jb 31:6; Ps 7:8

I will bless the Lord in the assemblies. # 26:12 Ps 35:18; 40:9–10
