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
Vindicate Me, O Lord
Of David.
1Vindicate me, O Lord!
For I have walked with integrity;
I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2Test me, O Lord, and try me;
examine my heart #26:2 Hebrew my kidneys and mind.
3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes,
and I have walked in Your truth.
4I do not sit with deceitful men,
nor keep company with hypocrites.
5I hate the mob of evildoers,
and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence
that I may go about Your altar, O Lord,
7to raise my voice in thanksgiving
and declare all Your wonderful works.
8O Lord, I love the house where You dwell,
the place where Your glory resides.
9Do not take my soul away with sinners,
or my life with men of bloodshed,
10in whose hands are wicked schemes,
whose right hands are full of bribes.
11But I will walk with integrity;
redeem me and be merciful to me.
12My feet stand on level ground;
in the congregations I will bless the Lord.
