Chapter 26

David professeth unto God his integrity. (A Psalm of David.)

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

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

3)For thy lovingkindnessloving-kindness is before mine eyes:; and I have walked in thy truth.

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

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

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

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

8)LORDLord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honourhonor dwelleth.

9)Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:;

10)In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11)But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:; redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12)My foot standeth in an even place:; in the congregations will I bless the LORDLord.
