Psalms 26
Reading Psalms chapter 26 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men
10 in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.
