Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

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

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

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

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

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

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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 men of blood;

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

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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 gracious unto me.

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 Jehovah.

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