[1] Lord, defend me. I have lived an innocent life. I trusted the Lord and never doubted. [2] Lord, try me and test me. Look closely into my heart and mind. [3] I see your love. I live by your truth. [4] I do not spend time with liars. I do not make friends with people who hide their sin. [5] I hate the company of evil people. I won't sit with the wicked. [6] I wash my hands to show I am innocent. I come to your altar, Lord. [7] I raise my voice in praise. I tell of all the miracles you have done. [8] Lord, I love the Temple where you live. It is where your greatness is. [9] Do not kill me with those sinners. Do not take my life with those murderers. [10] Evil is in their hands. They do wrong for money. [11] But I have lived an innocent life. So save me and be kind to me. [12] I stand in a safe place. Lord, I praise you in the great meeting.
