Psalms 26

1 A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in Jehovah without wavering.

2 Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.

Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3 For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.

For thy loving kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

4 I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.

I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

7 That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwells.

9 Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,

10 In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.

in whose hands is wickedness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.
