Psalms 26:2

Psa 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Ver. 2. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me ] It must needs be a good conscience that thus boldly offereth itself to God’s trial; so Job 31:6 .

Try my reins and my heart ] i.e. Mine affections and thoughts; for these are sibi mutuo causae. While I mused the fire kindled, Psalms 39:3 . David was neither ambitious nor factious, as his adversaries represented him.
