26
A Psalm of David. 
 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 evildoers; 
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.
