Psalms 26:3
1 Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2 Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.
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.
5 I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
