26. "Examine Me, O lord, and Prove Me"
Psa 26:1
<A Psalm of David.> Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.Psa 26:2
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.Psa 26:3
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.Psa 26:4
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.Psa 26:5
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.Psa 26:6
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:Psa 26:7
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.Psa 26:8
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.Psa 26:9
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:Psa 26:10
In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.Psa 26:11
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.Psa 26:12
My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
