Psalm 26 (Rest CM)

1 Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk’din mine integrity:I trusted also in the Lord;slide therefore shall not I.2 Examine me, and do me prove;try heart and reins, O God:3 For thy love is before mine eyes,thy truth’s paths I have trode.4 With persons vain I have not sat,nor with dissemblers gone:5 Th’ assembly of ill men I hate;to sit with such I shun.6 Mine hands in innocence, O Lord,I’ll wash and purify;So to thine holy altar go,and compass it will I:7 That I, with voice of thanksgiving,may publish and declare,And tell of all thy mighty works,that great and wondrous are.8 The habitation of thy house,Lord, I have loved well;Yea, in that place I do delightwhere doth thine honour dwell.9 With sinners gather not my soul,and such as blood would spill:10 Whose hands mischievous plots, right handcorrupting bribes do fill.11 But as for me, I will walk onin mine integrity:Do thou redeem me, and, O Lord,be merciful to me.12 My foot upon an even placedoth stand with stedfastness:Within the congregationsth’ Eternal I will bless.
