The King James Version Bible

Psalms 26:2-12

  1. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

  2. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

  3. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

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

  5. I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

  6. That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

  7. LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

  8. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

  9. In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

  10. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

  11. My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
