Psalms 26:8
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.
O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.
9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
