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.
