Psalms 26:1-12
In Psalms 26:1-12 , another psalm of David. The first is,
Judge me, O LORD; I have walked in my integrity ( Psalms 26:1 ):
The second:
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my mind and my heart. For thy loving-kindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in your truth. And I have not sat with vain persons, neither do I go in with dissemblers [with disgruntles]. I have hated the congregation of evildoers; I will not sit with the wicked. I will wash my hands in innocency ( Psalms 26:2-6 ):

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where your honor dwells.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD ( Psalms 26:6-12 ). "
