Psalm 26 A Psalm of David
Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in
the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and
tell of all thy wondrous works.
Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place
where thine honour dwelleth.
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem
me, and be merciful unto me.
My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
