< Psalms 26 >

1 David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.
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 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: —
Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;
For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;
I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5 I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;
I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
6 I will bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;
I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.
That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!
O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;
Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.
In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.
But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.
My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
