Psalms 26

A Psalm of David.

1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering. 2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;Try my heart and my mind. 3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;And I have walked in thy truth. 4I have not sat with men of falsehood;Neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5I hate the assembly of evil-doers,And will not sit with the wicked. 6I will wash my hands in innocency:So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah; 7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,And tell of all thy wondrous works. 8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,And the place where thy glory dwelleth. 9Gather not my soul with sinners,Nor my life with men of blood; 10In whose hands is wickedness,And their right hand is full of bribes. 11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:Redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 12My foot standeth in an even place:In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
