AB - Psalms - 26

26:1  Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence; and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

26:2  Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my mind and my heart.

26:3  For Your mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with Your truth.

26:4  I have not sat with the council of vanity, and shall by no means enter in with transgressors.

26:5  I have hated the assembly of evildoers; and will not sit with the ungodly.

26:6  I will wash my hands in innocence, and compass Your altar, O Lord;

26:7  to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all Your wonderful works.

26:8  O Lord, I have loved the beauty of Your house, and the place of the tabernacle of Your glory.

26:9  Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men;

26:10  in whose hands are iniquities, and their right hand is filled with bribes.

26:11  But I have walked in my innocence; redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

26:12  My foot stands in an even place; in the congregations will I bless You, O Lord.
