1 To David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I went in mine integrity, and in Jehovah I trusted: I shall not waver. 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 Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me; refine my reins 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 thy mercy is before mine eyes, and I walked about in thy 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 sat not with men of vanity, and I will not go in with those lying hid. 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 hated the convocation of those being evil, and with the unjust I will not sit. 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 will wash my hands in cleanness, and I will surround thine altar, O Jehovah: 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 To hear with the voice of praise, and to recount all thy wonders. proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds. proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8 O Jehovah, I loved the habitation of thy house, and the place of the dwelling of thine honor. 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 Thou wilt not gather my soul with the sinning, and my life with men of bloods: 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 Which in their hands mischief, and their right hand filled with gifts. 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 And I, I will go in mine integrity: redeem me and pity me. 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 My foot stood in straightness: in the convocations will I praise Jehovah. 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.
