Psalms 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 .
