[1] Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. [2] Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart. [3] For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. [4] I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders. [5] I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. [6] I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD, [7] That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. [8] O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. [9] Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, [10] In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. [11] But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. [12] My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD.
