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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In whose handes is wickednes, 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 I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

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

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