Psalm 26

Judica me, Domine

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 12 verses

  1. 1

    Give judgment for me, O LORD, for I have lived with integrity; *
    I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.

  2. 2

    Test me, O LORD, and try me; *
    examine my heart and my mind.

  3. 3

    For your love is before my eyes; *
    I have walked faithfully with you.

  4. 4

    I have not sat with the worthless, *
    nor do I consort with the deceitful.

  5. 5

    I have hated the company of evildoers; *
    I will not sit down with the wicked.

  6. 6

    I will wash my hands in innocence, O LORD, *
    that I may go in procession round your altar,

  7. 7

    Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving *
    and recounting all your wonderful deeds.

  8. 8

    LORD, I love the house in which you dwell *
    and the place where your glory abides.

  9. 9

    Do not sweep me away with sinners, *
    nor my life with those who thirst for blood,

  10. 10

    Whose hands are full of evil plots, *
    and their right hand full of bribes.

  11. 11

    As for me, I will live with integrity; *
    redeem me, O LORD, and have pity on me.

  12. 12

    My foot stands on level ground; *
    in the full assembly I will bless the LORD.
