1 V indicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; I have trusted in, leaned on, and relied on the Lord without wavering and I shall not slide.

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

2 E xamine me, O Lord, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified my reins and my heart.

3 F or Your loving-kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

For Thy kindness before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4 I do not sit with false persons, nor fellowship with pretenders;

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 I hate the company of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O Lord,

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7 T hat I may make the voice of thanksgiving heard and may tell of all Your wondrous works.

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8 L ord, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

9 G ather me not with sinners and sweep me not away, nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

10 I n whose hands is wickedness, and their right hands are full of bribes.

In whose hand a wicked device, And their right hand full of bribes.

11 B ut as for me, I will walk in my integrity; redeem me and be merciful and gracious to me.

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

12 M y foot stands on an even place; in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
