Psalm 26
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 evildoers; 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.
Psalm 27
1. THE
LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat
up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I
may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold
the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the
secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a
rock.
7. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about
me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will
sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and
answer me.
8. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,
LORD, will I seek.
9. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger:
thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of
my salvation.
10. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me
up.
11. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of
mine enemies.
12. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 28
1. UNTO
thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be
silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift
up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity,
which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4. Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness
of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to
them their desert.
5. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of
his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6. Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.
7. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him,
and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song
will I praise him.
8. The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his
anointed.
9. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and
lift them up for ever.
