King James Version

Psalms 26:1-12

A Psalm of David.

1Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

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

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

6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.26.8 where…: Heb. of the tabernacle of thy honour

9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:26.9 Gather…: or, Take not away26.9 bloody…: Heb. men of blood

10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.26.10 full…: Heb. filled with

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 the LORD.
