Psalms 26:6-12

When I come to your altar, YAHWEH, I’ll be clean before you, approaching with songs of thanksgiving, singing songs of your mighty miracles. YAHWEH, I love to live in your house, this dwelling place of dazzling glory! Don’t treat me as one of these scheming sinners who plot violence against the innocent. Look how they devise their wicked plans; their hands are always ready to receive a bribe. 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. Among the worshipers I will praise YAHWEH, for I am safe and secure because of you!
