Psalms 26

¹Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

²Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.

³For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

⁴I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

⁷That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

⁹Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

¹⁰In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah. Psalm 27 `A Psalm' of David.
