Psalms 26

Verse 1. 1 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. Verse 2. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. Verse 3. 3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. Verse 4. 4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. Verse 5. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. Verse 6. 6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

Verse 7. 7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. Verse 8. 8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. Verse 9. 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: Verse 10. 10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. Verse 11. 11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. Verse 12. 12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
