A Psalm of David

1Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.   falter

2Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.   test; conscience

3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in Your truth.

4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.   hypocrites

5I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocency: so will I compass Your altar, O Lord:   MATT 27:24 | go around

7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Your wondrous works.   proclaim

8Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your honor dwells.   temple

9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
