Chapter summary (Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, 1880)

1 David resorts to God in confidence of his integrity.

A Psalm of David.

26Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

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

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

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

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

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

7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.a

9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:bc

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

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

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