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

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

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

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

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

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

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

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

7 T hat I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

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

8 L ord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9 D o not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

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

In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

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

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
