Psalms 26

1 [By David.] Judge me, YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in YHWH 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, YHWH, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

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

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, 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 innocence, so I will go about your altar, YHWH;

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 your wondrous works.

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

8 YHWH, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

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

10 in whose hands is wickedness, 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 my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

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

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