PSALM XXVI. A Psalm of David. JUDGE me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine in- | tegrity: || I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O Lord, and | prove me; || try my reins and my | heart. 3 For thy lovingkindness is be- fore mine | eyes: || and I have | walked in thy truth. 4 I have not sat with vain | persons, || neither will I go in | with dissemblers. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil | doers; || and | will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash mine hands in | innocency: || so will I compass thine | altar, O Lord: 7 That I may publish with the voice of' thanks- | giving, || 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 Gather not my soul with | sinners, || nor my life with bloody | men : | 10 In whose hands is mischief, || and their right hand is full of bribes. II But as for me, I will walk in mine in- |tegrity: || redeem me, and be merciful | unto me. 12 My foot standeth in an even place : || in the congregations will I bless the Lord. f The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom' shall I | fear? || the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom' shall I be a- fraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to | eat up' my flesh, || they stum- bled and | fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart .shall not | fear: || though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek | after; || that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to en- | quire in his | temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pa- | vilion: || in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up up-on a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies | round a- bout me || therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises | unto the Lord. * These small notes only at verses 17 and 19 of Psalm xxv. ; and verse 5 of Psalm xxvi.
