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.

Psalm 26
26
Psalm 26
A psalm of David.
1 Lord, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor.
I have lived without blame.
I have trusted in the Lord.
I have never doubted him.
2 Lord, test me. Try me out.
Look deep down into my heart and mind.
3I have always remembered your love that never fails.
I have always depended on the fact that you are faithful.
4I don’t spend time with people who tell lies.
I don’t keep company with pretenders.
5I hate to be with a group of sinful people.
I refuse to spend time with those who are evil.
6I wash my hands to show that I’m not guilty.
Lord, I come near your altar.
7I shout my praise to you.
I tell about all the wonderful things you have done.
8 Lord, I love the house where you live.
I love the place where your glory is.
9Don’t destroy me together with sinners.
Don’t take away my life along with murderers.
10Their hands are always planning to do evil.
Their right hands are full of money that has bought their help.
11But I live without blame.
Save me from harm and treat me with kindness.
12My feet stand on level ground.
In the whole community I will praise the Lord.
