Psalms 26

Psalms 26:1

Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity.

O God, do thou stand out for me, and give sentence with me; for thou knowest I have walked in uprightness and sincerity before thee: however I may have failed in weakness, yet my purposes and desires have been truly devoted to thee.

Psalms 26:6

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

Lord, thou requirest holiness in them that come near thee, which thou hast signified by those many legal cleansings and lotions: I will be careful accordingly, to purge my heart and hands from all the impurity of my sins; and then will I approach to thine altar, and offer my sacrifices to thee.

Psalms 26:9

Gather not my soul with sinners.

O do not take away my soul with sinners: thou seest I would not do as they do. Oh, let me not speed as they do!
