Psalms 26

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Of David. Grant me justice, LORD! I have walked without blame. In the LORD I have trusted; I have not faltered.	1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Test me, LORD, and try me; search my heart and mind.	2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 Your love is before my eyes; I walk guided by your faithfulness.	3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I do not sit with deceivers, nor with hypocrites do I mingle.	4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I hate the company of evildoers; with the wicked I do not sit.	5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence and walk round your altar, LORD,	6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7 Lifting my voice in thanks, recounting all your wondrous deeds.	7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 LORD, I love the house where you dwell, the tenting-place of your glory.	8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Do not take me away with sinners, nor my life with the violent.	9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 Their hands carry out their schemes; their right hands are full of bribes.	10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But I walk without blame; redeem me, be gracious to me!	11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
	12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
