NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1By David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering. 1Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives! 2Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart.
3For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me. 3For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth.
4I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest. 4I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.
5I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked. 5I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
6I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD, 6I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD,
7to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds. 7singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders.
8O LORD, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed. 8I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells.
9Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people, 9Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
10who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe. 10Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes.
11But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me! 11But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy.
12I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the LORD. 12Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD.
