Psalms 26:1-7

¹“A psalm of David.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

²Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!

³For thy kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.

⁴I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.

⁵I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not sit with the wicked.

⁶I wash my hands in innocence. And go around thine altar. O LORD!

⁷To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
