Psalm 26:1-12

A Psalm of David. 26  Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering. 2  Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind. 3  For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth. 4  I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5  I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked. 6  I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah; 7  That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works. 8  Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth. 9  Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood; 10  In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes. 11  But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 12  My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
