Psalm 26
Judica me, Domine
1 BE THOU my judge, O Lord, for I have walked innocently * my trust hath been also in the Lord, therefore shall I not fall.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me * try out my reins and my heart.
3 For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes * and I will walk in thy truth.
4 I have not dwelt with vain persons * neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.
5 I have hated the congregation of the wicked * and will not sit among the ungodly.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord * and so will I go to thine altar.
7 That I may shew 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 O shut not up my soul with the sinners * nor my life with the blood-thirsty.
10 In whose hands is wickedness * and their right hand is full of gifts.
11 But as for me, I will walk innocently * O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot standeth right * I will praise the Lord in the congregations.
