Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 26

O Lord, You know my heart;
I have walked in trust and sought Your ways.

I rely on You completely—
let my steps not waver.

Search me and guide me, O Lord,
for Your love is always before me.

I walk in the light of Your truth.
I do not follow those who choose dishonesty,
nor do I sit among those who deceive.

I keep my heart open before You,
lifting my hands in gratitude.

I love the house where You dwell, O Lord,
the place where Your presence shines.

I stand firm in Your kindness,
my soul is safe in Your embrace.

My steps are steady on Your path;
I will praise You with a grateful heart,
and walk in Your love forever.
