1 O Lord, stand by me for I have lived my life without blame. I have trusted in the Lord without changing.

2 T est me and try me, O Lord. Test my mind and my heart.

3 F or Your loving-kindness is always in front of my eyes. And I have walked in Your truth.

4 I do not sit with men who lie about the truth. I would not be seen with those who pretend to be someone they are not.

5 I hate the meeting of sinners, and will not sit with the sinful.

6 I will wash my hands of any guilt. And I will go around Your altar, O Lord.

7 I will speak with the voice of thanks, and tell of all Your great works.

8 O Lord, I love the house where You live, the place where Your shining-greatness lives.

9 D o not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men who kill other people.

10 S inful plans are in their hands. And their right hand is full of pay for hurting others.

11 B ut as for me, I will live a life without blame. Make me free, and show me loving-kindness.

12 M y foot stands on a good place. I will give honor to the Lord, in the meeting of worship.
