Psalm - 26

picture

1 J udge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

2 E xamine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

3 F or thy lovingkindness 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 evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

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

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

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

9 G ather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 I n whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

12 M y foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
