Psalms Chapter 26

These 150 prayers were used by the Hebrews to express their relationship with God. They cover the whole field of human emotions, from joy to hate, from hope to despair.

American King James Version

26 : 1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

26 : 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

26 : 3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in your truth.

26 : 4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

26 : 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

26 : 6 I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O LORD:

26 : 7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works.

26 : 8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house, and the place where your honor dwells.

26 : 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

26 : 10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

26 : 11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.

26 : 12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
