Psalms 26:5
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.
I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,
7 to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.
