PSALMS 26:1-10

¹A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

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 hate 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 make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸LORD, 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 mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
