Psalm 26

Judica me, Domine

1

Give judgment for me, O Lord,

for I have lived with integrity; *

I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.

2

Test me, O Lord, and try me; *

examine my heart and my mind.

3

For your love is before my eyes; *

I have walked faithfully with you.

4

I have not sat with the worthless, *

nor do I consort with the deceitful.

5

I have hated the company of evildoers; *

I will not sit down with the wicked.

6

I will wash my hands in innocence, O Lord, *

that I may go in procession round your altar,

7

Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving *

and recounting all your wonderful deeds.

8

Lord, I love the house in which you dwell *

and the place where your glory abides.
