[ Read](/kjv/psalms/26)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/26)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/26) Audio

 1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; *therefore* I shall not slide.

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

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

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

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

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

 7 That I may publish with 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 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:**

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

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

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

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
[Psalms 26:0](/kjv/psalms/26/0). 

*David resorteth unto God, in confidence of his integrity.* 

A Psalm of David. 

***Title.*****—** לדוד *ledavid,*in this psalm David asserts his innocence so strongly, that we may conclude it was made before the preceding psalm, agreeably to the observation made on the title of that psalm. Theodoret supposes that David wrote it while he was among the Philistines, or in some other strange country, into which he was for some time forced by the persecution of Saul. 

***[Psalms 26:1](/kjv/psalms/26/1)*****.*****Judge me, O Lord*****—** *Plead for me, O Lord.*
