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
1A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide. 2Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart. 3For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth. 4I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers. 5I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked. 6I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar, 7That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes. 8O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 9Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men: 10In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me. 12My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
