| King James Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. | 1Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. |
| 2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. | 2Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind. |
| 3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. | 3For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness. |
| 4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. | 4I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites. |
| 5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. | 5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked. |
| 6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: | 6I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O LORD, |
| 7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. | 7proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds. |
| 8LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. | 8O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. |
| 9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: | 9Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men, |
| 10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. | 10in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes. |
| 11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. | 11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. |
| 12My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. | 12My foot stands on level ground; in the great assembly I will bless the LORD. |
