< Psalms 26 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.
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 prove me; try my reins and my heart.
Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3 For thy loving-kindness [is] before my 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 vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation 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 innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:
I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, 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 have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor 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 bloody men:
Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10 In whose hands [is] mischief, 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 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 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.
