Psalm 26
Judica me Domine
- Be thou my Judge, O Lord, for I have walked innocently : my trust hath been also in the Lord, therefore shall I not fall.
- Examine me, O Lord, and prove me : try out my reins and my heart.
- For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes : and I will walk in thy truth.
- I have not dwelt with vain persons : neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.
- I have hated the congregation of the wicked : and will not sit among the ungodly.
- I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord : and so will I go to thine altar;
- That I may shew the voice of thanksgiving : and tell of all thy wondrous works.
- Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house : and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
- O shut not up my soul with the sinners : nor my life with the blood-thirsty;
- In whose hands is wickedness : and their right hand is full of gifts.
- But as for me, I will walk innocently : O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.
- My foot standeth right : I will praise the Lord in the congregations.
