Psalms 26:1-8

¹A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

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 have hated the congregation of evildoers; 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 publish with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, And the place where thine honour dwelleth.
