1 Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. Of David. Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.
2 Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart. Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind. Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness. for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
4 I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites. I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites. I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked. I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked. I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD, I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O LORD, I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
7 singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders. proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds. proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8 I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells. O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
9 Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers. Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men, Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,
10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes. in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes. in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy. But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
12 Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD. My foot stands on level ground; in the great assembly I will bless the LORD. My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
