Psalms 26 {A Psalm of David} Be thou my Judge, O LORD, for I walk innocently. My trust hath been also in the LORD; therefore shall I not fall.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {A Psalm of David} Be thou my Judge, O LORD, for I walk innocently. My trust hath been also in the LORD; therefore shall I not fall. ² Examine me, O LORD, and prove me: try out my reins and my heart. ³ For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes; and I will walk in thy truth. ⁴ I have not dwelt with vain persons; neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful. ⁵ I hate the congregation of the wicked, and will not sit among the ungodly. ⁶ I wash my hands with innocency, O LORD, and so will I go to thine altar, ⁷ that I may show the voice of thanksgiving, 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 O shut not up my soul with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodthirsty, ¹⁰ in whose hands is wickedness, and their righthand is full of gifts. ¹¹ But as for me, I will walk innocently: O deliver me, and be merciful unto me. ¹² My foot standeth right: I will praise the LORD in the congregations.
