Psalms 26:1-9

¹A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

²Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

³For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

⁴I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

⁵I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

⁷That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

⁸Jehovah, I have loved 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;
