CHAP. XXVI.

Dauid resorteth vnto God, in confidence of his integritie.

¹ [A Psalme of Dauid.] Iudge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine integritie: I haue trusted also in the Lord: therfore I shall not slide.

² Examine me, O Lord, and proue me; try my reines and my heart.²

³ For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: and I haue walked in thy trueth.

⁴ I haue not sate with vaine persons, neither will I goe in with dissemblers.⁴

⁵ I haue hated the congregation of euill doers: and will not sit with the wicked.

⁶ I will wash mine hands in innocencie: so will I compasse thine Altar, O Lord:

⁷ That I may publish with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and tell of all thy wonderous workes.

⁸ Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.⁸

⁹ Gather not my soule with sinners, nor my life with bloody men.⁹

¹⁰ In whose hands is mischiefe: and their right hand is full of bribes.¹⁰

¹¹ But as for mee, I will walke in mine integritie: redeeme me, and bee mercifull vnto me.

¹² My foot standeth in an euen place: in the congregations will I blesse the Lord.
