1Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
1A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.
2Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.
3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.
3For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.
4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.
5I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,
6I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,
7to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.
7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
8O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.
8LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.
9Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
10In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
12My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
12My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
