Psalm 26

Do me justice, O God, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in God, have I trusted, I will not waver.

Try me, O God, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart:—

For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

I will bathe, in pureness, my hands,—so will I go in procession around thine altar, O God;

To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.

O God, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!

Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.

But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.

My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless God.
