Psalms 26:2

Trials and adversityIntegrityPrayer

1 Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

3 For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.
