And I have walked in Your [fn]truth.

And I will go about Your altar, O LORD,

And declare all Your [fn]wonders.

And the place [fn]where Your glory dwells.

Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

And whose right hand is full of bribes.

Psa 26:11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

In the congregations I shall bless the LORD.
