(Psalm of David) Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. Psalm 26:1 In all things preserve integrity; and the consciousness of thine own uprightness will alleviate the toil of business, soften the hardness of ill-success and disappointments, and give thee an humble confidence before God, when the ingratitude of man or the iniquity of the times may rob thee of other rewards. Author unknown

I do not sit (abide) with deceitful (vain, false, empty, lying) men. Psalm 26:4a Our associates determine the drift and current of our life. It is so easy to launch upon the current that flows past our feet; it seems impossible that the laughing, enticing water should ever carry us against sharp, splintering rocks, or over-breaking cataracts. F. B. Meyer, 1847-1929, Baptist pastor and English evangelist

I do not consort with hypocrites. Psalm 26:4b Duplicitous and unreliable relationships, at best, steal time and energy from genuine heartfelt ones.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked. Psalm 26:5 With (God), there is no such thing as a little white lie, no such thing as a little sin, just because everyone is doing it. “The Voice of the Lord” Lewis and Harriet Lederer Foundation, Inc.

I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O Lord. Psalm 26:6
