Calling Myself

1 ^[a](A)Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have ^(B)walked in my integrity, and I have ^(C)trusted in the LORD ^(D)without wavering. 

2 ^(E)Examine me, O LORD, and try me;^(F)test my ^[b]mind and my heart. 

3 For Your ^(G)lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have ^(H)walked in Your truth. 

4 I do not ^(I)sit with ^[c]deceitful men, nor will I go with ^(J)pretenders [Ed. note: Why I'm anti-McCain, in a nutshell]. 

5 I ^(K)hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked [Ed. note: Advice that John McCain has never heeded]. 

6 I shall ^(L)wash my hands in innocence, and I will go about ^(M)Your altar, O LORD, 7 that I may proclaim with the voice of ^(N)thanksgiving and declare all Your wonders. 

8 O LORD, I ^(O)love the habitation of Your house and the place where Your ^(P)glory dwells. 

9 ^(Q)Do not take my soul away along with sinners, nor my life with ^(R)men of bloodshed, 10 in whose hands is a ^(S)wicked scheme, and whose right hand is full of ^(T)bribes. 

11 But as for me, I shall ^(U)walk in my integrity; ^(V)redeem me, and be gracious to me. 

12 ^(W)My foot stands on a ^(X)level place; in the ^(Y)congregations I shall bless the LORD.

-Psalm 26
