Psalm 26

₁Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity:

I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

₂Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;

Try my reins and my heart.

₃For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

And I have walked in thy truth.

₄I have not sat with vain persons,

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

₅I have hated the congregation of evil doers;

And will not sit with the wicked.

₆I will wash mine hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

₇That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,

And tell of all thy wondrous works.

₈LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house,

And the place where thine honour dwelleth.

₉Gather not my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloody men:

₁₀In whose hands is mischief,

And their right hand is full of bribes.

₁₁But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

₁₂My foot standeth in an even place:

In the congregations will I bless the LORD.
