Psalm 26

1: Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2: Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3: For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in Thy truth.
4: I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5: I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6: I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD:
7: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
8: LORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honour dwelleth.
9: Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10: In whose hands is mischief, 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 the LORD.
