Psalm - 26

picture

1 V indicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.

2 E xamine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.

3 F or Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

7 T hat I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

8 L ord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.

9 D o not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

10 I n whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

11 B ut as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 M y foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
