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