Psalms 26

Thomson(i) 1 By David. Judge me, Lord, for I have walked in mine integrity; and trusting in the Lord I should not be shaken. 2 Examine me, Lord, and prove me: try my reins and my heart. 3 Because thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have delighted in thy truth: 4 I did not sit with the council of vanity; nor can I go with them who transgress: 5 I hated the assembly of evil doers; and with the ungodly I cannot sit. 6 I will wash my hands in innocence and go round thine altar, O Lord: 7 that I may hear the voice of praise; and tell all thy wonderous acts. 8 Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house; and the place of the mansion of thy glory. 9 Destroy not my soul with the wicked nor my life with blood thirsty men; 10 in whose hands are iniquities; and whose right hand is full of bribes. 11 As for me, I have walked in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me. 12 My foot hath been stedfast in rectitude: in assemblies, I will bless thee, O Lord.
