Psalms

26 0 A Psalm of David.

1 JUDGE ^ame, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have ^btrusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

2 ^cExamine me, O LORD, and ^*prove me; try my ^*reins and my heart.

3 For ^dthy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and ^eI have walked in thy truth.

4 I ^fhave not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I ^ghave hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I ^hwill wash mine hands in innocency: ⁱso will I ^*compass thine altar, O LORD:

7 That ^jI may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy ^kwondrous works.

8 LORD, ^lI have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place ¹where thine honour dwelleth.

9 ²Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with ³bloody men:

10 In ^mwhose hands is mischief, and their right hand is ⁴full of bribes.

11 But as for me, ⁿI will walk in mine integrity: ^oredeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 My ^pfoot standeth in an even place: ^qin the congregations will I bless the LORD.
