1(26) [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the LordI shall not be moved.
1Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
2Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
2Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3For your mercy is before my eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].
5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:
6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
7to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.
7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.
8Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.
10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
12My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
