Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh 1Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in Yahweh; I will not waver. 2Test me, O Yahweh, and try me; Refine my [†]mind and my heart. 3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your [†]truth. 4I do not sit with worthless men, And I will not go with [†]pretenders. 5I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. 6I shall wash my hands in innocence, So I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh, 7In order to proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And to recount all Your [†]wondrous deeds. 8O Yahweh, I love the habitation of Your house And the place [†]where Your glory dwells. 9Do not [†]take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, 10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. 11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. 12My foot stands on level ground; In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh. 2 Lit kidneys, figurative for inner man 3 Or faithfulness 4 Or dissemblers, hypocrites 7 Or miracles 8 Lit of the tabernacle of Your glory 9 Lit gather Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation All rights reserved.
