Psalms - 26

1 - Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

2 - Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

3 - For 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 - That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

9 - Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 - In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

12 - My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
