Psalm 26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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