Psalms 26:1-3

• [Psa 26:1] Be Thou My Judge, O Righteous Lord

  Be Thou my Judge, O righteous Lord, Try Thou mine inmost heart; I walk with steadfast trust in Thee, Nor from Thy ways depart. O search me, Lord, and prove me now; Thy mercy I adore; I choose Thy truth to be my guide, And sinful ways abhor. My hands I wash in innocence And seek Thine altar, Lord, That there I may with thankful voice Thy wondrous ways record. The habitation of Thy house Is ever my delight; The place where dwells Thy glory, Lord, Is lovely in my sight. Let not the judgment fall on me For evil men decreed, For cruel men and violent, Inspired by bribes and greed. But I in mine integrity Will humbly walk with Thee; O my Redeemer and my Lord, Be merciful to me. Redeemed by Thee, I stand secure In peace and happiness; And in the Church, among Thy saints, Jehovah I will bless.

• [Psa 26:2] Judge Me, O Lord, And Prove My Ways

  Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways, And try my reins, and try my heart; My faith upon Thy promise stays, Nor from Thy law my feet depart. I hate to walk, I hate to sit, With men of vanity and lies; The scoffer and the hypocrite Are the abhorrence of mine eyes. Amongst the saints will I appear With hands well washed in innocence; But when I stand before Thy bar, The blood of Christ is my defense. I love Thy habitation, Lord, The temple where Thine honors dwell; There shall I hear Thine holy Word, And there Thy works of wonder tell. Let not my soul be joined at last With men of treachery and blood, Since I my days on earth have passed Among the saints, and near my God.
