Psalm XXVI.
1
Be thou my judge, O righteous God,And see my innocence:
In thee, O Lord, I put my trust,
And stedfast confidence.
2
Examine, Lord, my inward part,And try my heart and mind;
I am sincere, and therefore hope,
Thy mercy, Lord to find.
38
3
I have not with dissemblers gone,Nor with the loose and vain:
I ever have abhor'd, and shun'd,
The wicked and profane.
4
I'll wash my hands in innocence,And round thine altar go:
That I in songs of praise may tell,
What wonders thou canst do.
5
Thy tabernacle, Lord, to me,Most dear has ever been:
That place wherein thy Majesty,
And glory may be seen.
6
With wicked and blood thirsty Men,O gather not my soul:
Whose actions are with mischief fraught,
And hands with bribes are foul.
7
But unto me who am sincere,Thy grace and help afford:
Then in thy house my feet shall stand,
And I will bless the Lord.
