Psalms 26

Brenton(i) 1 (25:1) A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved. 2 (25:2) Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart. 3 (25:3) For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth. 4 (25:4) I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors. 5 (25:5) I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly men. 6 (25:6) I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord: 7 (25:7) to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works. 8 (25:8) O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory. 9 (25:9) Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men: 10 (25:10) in whose hands are iniquities, and their right hand is filled with bribes. 11 (25:11) But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me. 12 (25:12) My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
