| Chapter 26 |
1 |
[A 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. --
|
2 |
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. --
|
3 |
For thy lovingkindness [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 doers; and will not sit with the wicked. --
|
6 |
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: --
|
7 |
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. --
|
8 |
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour 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 LORD. --
