Psalm 26

¹ Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk’d

in mine integrity:

and I have trusted in the Lord,

therefore slide shall not I.

² Examine me, Lord, and me prove;

my reins, and my heart try.

³ For thy grace is before mine eyes;

and in thy truth walk I.

⁴ I sat not with vain men, nor go

with men themselves that hide.

⁵ Evil men’s company I hate:

nor will with vile abide.

⁶ In cleanness, Lord, I’ll wash mine hands,

so I’ll thine altar round:

⁷ That I may preach with thankful voice,

and all thy praises sound.

⁸ The habitation of thy house,

Lord, dearly love do I,

the place and tabernacle of

thy glor’ous majesty.

⁹ My soul with sinners gather not,

with men of blood my life.

¹⁰ In whose hand’s guile, in whose right hand

bribery is full rise.
