Psalms, chapter 26

1. A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2. Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.
3. For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.
4. I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5. I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6. I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,
7. That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
8. LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.
9. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
10. In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
12. My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
