Psalms 26 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
Psalms 26
1A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.
2Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
4I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
6I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
8O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
12My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
Psalms 26
1Judge 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.
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
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.
