Psalms 26
Intro: David professeth unto God his integrity. (A Psalm of David.)
1 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity; I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine altar, O Lord;
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men;
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
