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.
1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;
Try my heart and my mind.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;
And I have walked in thy truth.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood;
Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.
8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,
And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of blood;
10In whose hands is wickedness,
And their right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12My foot standeth in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
