A psalm of David
26
📚✭Act as my judge, O LORD,
for I have walked in my
integrity;
I have also trusted
in the LORD.
Therefore I shall not slip.
2 📚Examine me,
O LORD, and prove me.
Test my mind and my heart.
3 📚For your loving kindness
is before my eyes,
and I have walked
in your truth.
4 📚✭I have not sat with worthless
persons,
nor do I go with hypocrites.
5 📚I have hated the congregation
of evildoers,
and will not sit with
the wicked.
6 📚✭I will wash my hands
in innocence;
so I will go around your altar,
O LORD,
7 📚That I may proclaim
with the voice of
thanksgiving,
and tell of all your
wondrous works.
8 📚LORD, I have loved
the habitation of your house,
and the place where
your honour dwells.
9 📚Do not gather my soul
with sinners,
or my life with bloodthirsty
men,
10 📚In whose hands is
an evil scheme,
and whose right hand is
full of bribes✭.
11 📚✭But as for me, I will walk
in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be
merciful to me.
12 📚My foot stands
in a level place✭.
In the congregations
I will praise the LORD.
