Psalm 26

By David.

cb(26,1); 26:1 Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.

I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.

cb(26,2); 26:2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me.

Try my heart and my mind.

cb(26,3); 26:3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes.

I have walked in your truth.

cb(26,4); 26:4 I have not sat with deceitful men,

neither will I go in with hypocrites.

cb(26,5); 26:5 I hate the assembly of evildoers,

and will not sit with the wicked.

cb(26,6); 26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence,

so I will go about your altar, LORD;

cb(26,7); 26:7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,

and tell of all your wondrous works.

cb(26,8); 26:8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house,

the place where your glory dwells.

cb(26,9); 26:9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners,

nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

cb(26,10); 26:10 in whose hands is wickedness,

their right hand is full of bribes.

cb(26,11); 26:11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.

Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

cb(26,12); 26:12 My foot stands in an even place.

In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
