Psalm 26

Psalm XXVI.

A Psalm of David.

^aJudge me, O Lord; for I have ^bwalked in mine integrity:

^cI have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not ^dslide.

^2eExamine me, O Lord, and prove me;

^fTry ^gmy reins and my heart.

³For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

And ^hI have walked in thy truth.

⁴ⁱI have not sat with ^kvain persons,

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵I have ^lhated the congregation of evildoers;

And ⁱwill not sit with the wicked.

^6mI will wash mine hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

⁷That I may ⁿpublish with the voice of thanksgiving,

And tell of all thy ^owondrous works.

^8pLord, I have loved the habitation of thy house,

And ^qthe place where thine honour dwelleth.

⁹Gather not my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloody men:

¹⁰In whose hands is mischief,

And their right hand is full of ^rbribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will ^swalk in mine integrity:

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²My foot standeth in an ^teven place:

^uIn the congregations will I bless the Lord.
