1 ¶ Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity; I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

2 E xamine me, O LORD and prove me; melt my kidneys and my heart.

3 F or thy mercy is before my eyes, and I walk in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers and will not sit with the wicked.

6 ¶ I will wash my hands in innocency, so I will walk near unto thine altar, O LORD:

7 T hat I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 L ORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.

9 G ather not my soul with the sinners, nor my life with those who have blood on their hands:

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

11 B ut as for me, I will walk in my integrity; ransom me and be merciful unto me.

12 I have walked uprightly; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
