Integrity, faithfulness and trusted in the Lord without wavering

Psalm 26:1-12
Vindicate me, O Lord!
I do
Walked in my integrity, have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
Walk in your faithfulness.
Proclaiming thanksgiving aloud
Telling all your wondrous deeds
I do not or hate
Sit with men of falsehood
consort with hypocrites
the assembly of evildoers
sit with the wicked.
Pray : do not sweep my soul away with sinners, not my life with bloodthirsty men.
The psalmist is not claiming perfection but a consistent life of trust and obedience to God.
He calls on God to acquit(開釋) him of false charges. Compare this self-portrait with the first part of Psalm 1.
Why?
A christian needs to do something and not do something. Do the good things and right deed, but hate false, evildoers, even don't sit with those wicked. No negotiate with them.
David pray to the Lord save him and vindicate him, for he has done all he can, please test and check his mind and his heart. Integrity is a good character of a man.
How?
Walked in my integrity, God's faithfulness and have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
