PSALM 26
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk'd
in mine integrity:
I trusted also in the Lord;
slide therefore shall not I.
2Examine me, and do me prove;
try heart and reins, O God:
3For thy love is before mine eyes,
thy truth's paths I have trode.
4With persons vain I have not sat,
nor with dissemblers gone:
5Th' assembly of ill men I hate;
to sit with such I shun.
6Mine hands in innocence, O Lord,
I'll wash and purify;
So to thine holy altar go,
and compass it will I:
7That I, with voice of thanksgiving,
may publish and declare,
And tell of all thy mighty works,
that great and wondrous are.
8The habitation of thy house,
Lord, I have loved well;
Yea, in that place I do delight
where doth thine honour dwell.
9With sinners gather not my soul,
and such as blood would spill:
10Whose hands mischievous plots, right hand
corrupting bribes do fill.
11But as for me, I will walk on
in mine integrity:
Do thou redeem me, and, O Lord,
be merciful to me.
12My foot upon an even place
doth stand with stedfastness:
Within the congregations
th' Eternal I will bless.

Psalms 26
26
The Prayer of an Innocent Believer
Of David.
1Lord, defend me because I have lived an innocent life.
I have trusted the Lord and never doubted.
2Lord, try me and test me;
look closely into my heart and mind.
3I see your love,
and I live by your truth.
4I do not spend time with liars,
nor do I make friends with those who hide their sin.
5I hate the company of evil people,
and I won’t sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands to show I am innocent,
and I come to your altar, Lord.
7I raise my voice in praise
and tell of all the miracles you have done.
8Lord, I love the Temple where you live,
where your glory is.
9Do not kill me with those sinners
or take my life with those murderers.
10Evil is in their hands,
and they do wrong for money.
11But I have lived an innocent life,
so save me and have mercy on me.
12I stand in a safe place.
Lord, I praise you in the great meeting.
