Chapter 26 - Judge Me O Lord

1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: 

I have trusted also in the LORD; 

therefore I shall not slide.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; 

try my reins and my heart.

3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: 

and I have walked in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I have hated the congregation (of evil doers); 

and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: 

so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

7 That I may publish with the voice (of thanksgiving), and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: 

redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: 

in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
