Psalm 26

¹Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.

I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.

²Examine me, LORD, and prove me.

Try my heart and my mind.

³For your loving kindness is before my eyes.

I have walked in your truth.

⁴I have not sat with deceitful men,

neither will I go in with hypocrites.

⁵I hate the assembly of evildoers,

and will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence,

so I will go about your altar, LORD,

⁷that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard

and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

⁸LORD, I love the habitation of your house,

the place where your glory dwells.

⁹Don’t gather my soul with sinners,

nor my life with bloodthirsty men

¹⁰in whose hands is wickedness;

their right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.

Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

¹²My foot stands in an even place.

In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
