Psalm 26

Agpeya / Septuagint numbering: Psalm 25

  1. By David.
  2. 1Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.
    I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
  3. 2Examine me, LORD, and prove me.
    Try my heart and my mind.
  4. 3For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
    I have walked in your truth.
  5. 4I have not sat with deceitful men,
    neither will I go in with hypocrites.
  6. 5I hate the assembly of evildoers,
    and will not sit with the wicked.
  7. 6I will wash my hands in innocence,
    so I will go about your altar, LORD,
  8. 7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard
    and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
  9. 8LORD, I love the habitation of your house,
    the place where your glory dwells.
  10. 9Don’t gather my soul with sinners,
    nor my life with bloodthirsty men
  11. 10in whose hands is wickedness;
    their right hand is full of bribes.
  12. 11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
    Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
  13. 12My foot stands in an even place.
    In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
