Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

Psalms 26 Study & Commentary
Psalm 26 is David’s plea for vindication based on his integrity. He invites God to examine his heart and reins, declaring his love for the habitation of God’s house.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Examining the Heart: David asks God to "examine" and "prove" him (v. 2). We should regularly invite the Holy Spirit to search our motives.2. Holy Associations: David avoided the "congregation of evildoers" (v. 5). Our environment affects our spiritual health.
3. Loving the Sanctuary: We should share David’s passion for the place where God’s honor dwelleth (v. 8).
