L ORD, speak for me, for I am yours; and test my mind and heart. I walk with steadfast trust in you, nor from your ways depart. [Sing to the Lord 26]

2. Try me, O L ORD, if I be true and walk in righteousness. Your love forever leads my way; I trust your faithfulness.

3. I do not sit with those who cheat – the false who love pretence. I do not follow where they go, nor count them as my friends.

4. I wash my hands in innocence and seek your altar, L ORD, and, singing there with thankful voice, your mighty works record.

5. I love your house, O mighty L ORD, I love the holy place where you in your great glory dwell; you visit us in grace.

6. O do not sweep me down to death with those who thirst for blood; their right hands overflow with bribes; they turn away from good.

7. I walk in my integrity; redeem me, L ORD, in grace. Securely now I stand, O L ORD ; in worship I bring praise. Sing to the Lord 26 Used with permission Text: Marie J. Post, 1983, © Faith Alive Christian Resources, 1987, alt. Tune: English traditional melody
