1.
Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
|
|
2.
Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
|
|
3.
for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
|
|
4.
I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
|
|
5.
I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
|
|
6.
I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
|
|
7.
proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
|
|
8.
I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.
|
|
9.
Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
|
|
10.
in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
|
|
11.
But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me.
|
|
12.
My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.
