PSALM 26

 (KJV)

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

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;
try my reins and my heart.
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:
and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons,
neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I have hated the congregation of evil doers;
and will not sit with the wicked.
I will wash mine hands in innocency:
so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house,
and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
Gather not my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloody men:
In whose hands is mischief,
and their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
My foot standeth in an even place:
in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
