picture

1 V indicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.

2 E xamine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.

3 F or Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.

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

7 T hat I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders.

8 O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells.

9 D o not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

10 I n whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

11 B ut as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

12 M y foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the Lord.
