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.

BY DAVID. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in YHWH, I do not slide.

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

Try me, O YHWH, and prove me, My reins and my heart [are] purified,

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

For Your kindness [is] before my eyes, And I have habitually walked in Your truth.

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

I have not sat with vain men, And I do not enter with pretenders.

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

I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And I do not sit with the wicked.

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

I wash my hands in innocence, And I go around Your altar, O YHWH.

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

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Your wonders.

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

YHWH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place of the Dwelling Place of Your glory.

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

Do not gather my soul with sinners, And my life with men of blood,

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

In whose hand [is] a wicked scheme, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

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

And I walk in my integrity, Redeem me, and favor me.

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

My foot has stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless YHWH!
