[1] Establish justice for me, LORD, because I have walked with integrity. I’ve trusted the LORD without wavering. [2] Examine me, LORD; put me to the test! Purify my mind and my heart. [3] Because your faithful love is right in front of me—I walk in your truth! [4] I don’t spend time with people up to no good; I don’t keep company with liars. [5] I detest the company of evildoers, and I don’t sit with wicked people. [6] I wash my hands—they are innocent! I walk all around your altar, LORD, [7] proclaiming out loud my thanks, declaring all your wonderful deeds! [8] I love the beauty of your house, LORD; I love the place where your glory resides. [9] Don’t gather me up with the sinners, taking my life along with violent people [10] in whose hands are evil schemes, whose strong hands are full of bribes. [11] But me? I walk with integrity. Save me! Have mercy on me! [12] My feet now stand on level ground. I will bless the LORD in the great congregation.
