Psalm 26:9-12

New Catholic Bible

⁹ Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
    nor my life with those who thirst for blood,^[a]
10 whose hands carry out evil schemes,
    and whose right hands are full of bribes.
¹¹ Rather, I choose to walk in innocence;
    redeem me and be merciful to me.
¹² My feet stand on level ground;^[b]
    in the full assembly I will bless the Lord.
