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 evildoers, 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 honor
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.
