1 J udge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

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 Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.

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

3 F or thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

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

4 I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers, 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 innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

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

7 T hat I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

8 J ehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

9 G ather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

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

10 I n whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is 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 mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

12 M y foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

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