[1] Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.
[2] Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
[3] For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
[4] I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
[5] I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.
[6] I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
[7] That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.
[8] Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.
[9] Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
[10] In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
[11] But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.
[12] My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
