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.●
