Psalm 26

A Psalm of David.

26:1

¶ Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

26:2

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

26:3

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

26:4

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

26:5

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

26:6

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

26:7

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

26:8

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

26:9

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

26:10

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

26:11

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

26:12

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
