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.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
2 Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.
4 I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5 I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].
6 I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:
7 That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.
8 O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.
9 Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.
11 But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon 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 will I bless you, O Lord.
