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
A psalm of David.
1Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.
2Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.
3For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.
4I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.
5I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.
6I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship#26:6. Literally, “I march around your altar”—part of the actions of worship. at your altar, Lord,
7singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.
8Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.
9Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,
10whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.
11For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!
12I stand for what's right,#26:12. “I stand for what's right”: literally, “My foot stands on level ground.” and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
