[1] Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering. [2] Test me, LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind. [3] For your faithful love guides me, and I live by your truth. [4] I do not sit with the worthless or associate with hypocrites. [5] I hate a crowd of evildoers, and I do not sit with the wicked. [6] I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, LORD, [7] raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about your wondrous works. [8] LORD, I love the house where you dwell, the place where your glory resides. [9] Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed [10] in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes. [11] But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me. [12] My foot stands on level ground; I will bless the LORD in the assemblies.
