Psalms 26 (asv)

A Psalm of David.

^26:1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:

I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

^26:2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;

Try my heart and my mind.

^26:3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;

And I have walked in thy truth.

^26:4I have not sat with men of falsehood;

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

^26:5I hate the assembly of evil-doers,

And will not sit with the wicked.

^26:6I will wash my hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

^26:7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,

And tell of all thy wondrous works.

^26:8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,

And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

^26:9Gather not my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with men of blood;

^26:10In whose hands is wickedness,

And their right hand is full of bribes.

^26:11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

^26:12My foot standeth in an even place:

In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
