Psalms
Chapter 26Berean Standard Bible
King James Version
1Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
