Psalm 26

A Psalm of David.

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

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

2  eExamine me, O Lord, and prove me;

fTry gmy reins and my heart.

3  For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

And hI have walked in thy truth.

4  iI have not sat with kvain persons,

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5  I have lhated the congregation of evil doers;

And iwill not sit with the wicked.

6  mI will wash mine hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

7  That I may npublish with the voice of thanksgiving,

And tell of all thy owondrous works.

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

And qthe 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 rbribes.

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

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12  My foot standeth in an teven place:

uIn the congregations will I bless the Lord.
