[1] Judge me favorably, O LORD, because I have walked with integrity and I have trusted you without wavering. [2] Examine me, O LORD, and test me. Look closely into my heart and mind. [3] I see your mercy in front of me. I walk in the light of your truth. [4] I did not sit with liars, and I will not be found among hypocrites. [5] I have hated the mob of evildoers and will not sit with wicked people. [6] I will wash my hands in innocence. I will walk around your altar, O LORD, [7] so that I may loudly sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell about all your miracles. [8] O LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells. [9] Do not sweep away my soul along with hardened sinners or my life along with bloodthirsty people. [10] Evil schemes are in their hands. Their right hands are full of bribes. [11] But I walk with integrity. Rescue me, and have pity on me. [12] My feet stand on level ground. I will praise the LORD with the choirs in worship.
