Psalms 26
David proclaims his **integrity** and trust in YHWH, requesting divine examination of his heart and separation from hypocrites, evildoers, and the wicked.[1][2] He expresses love for YHWH's dwelling place, pleads for redemption from sinners, and vows to bless YHWH in the assembly while standing on firm ground.[1][3]
