Context of Psalms 26:3

1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip. 2Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart: For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth. 4I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers; 5I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
