Psalms 26

1 <<[A Psalm] of David.>> Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity; I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O LORD and prove me; melt my kidneys and my heart. 3 For thy mercy [is] before my eyes, and I walk in thy truth. 4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash my hands in innocency, so I will walk near unto 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 of the tabernacle of thy glory. 9 Gather not my soul with the sinners, nor my life with those who have blood [on their hands]: 10 In whose hands [are] wicked devices, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; ransom me and be merciful unto me. 12 I have walked uprightly; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.:
