Psalm 26 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Be thou my judge, O Lord, for I have walked innocently *

my trust hath been also in the Lord, therefore shall I not fall.

2

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me *

try out my reins and my heart.

3

For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes *

and I will walk in thy truth.

4

I have not dwelt with vain persons *

neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.

5

I have hated the congregation of the wicked *

and will not sit among the ungodly.

6

I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord *

and so will I go to thine altar.

7

That I may shew the voice of thanksgiving *

and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house *

and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9

O shut not up my soul with the sinners *

nor my life with the blood-thirsty.

10

In whose hands is wickedness *

and their right hand is full of gifts.

11

But as for me, I will walk innocently *

O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.

12

My foot standeth right *

I will praise the Lord in the congregations.
