1 A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip. |
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. |
3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. |
4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites. |
5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked. |
6 I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O LORD, |
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works. |
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells. |
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, |
10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. |
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me. |
12 My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the LORD. |
