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