1 J udge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

2 P rove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

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

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

7 T hat I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

8 J ehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

10 I n whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 B ut as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

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