Psalms 26

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.

Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

3 For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.

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

4 I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

5 I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,

I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

8 LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

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

10 In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
