[1] Vindicate me, Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. [2] Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test; Refine my mind and my heart. [3] For Your goodness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. [4] I do not sit with deceitful people, Nor will I go with pretenders. [5] I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. [6] I will wash my hands in innocence, And I will go around Your altar, Lord, [7] That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. [8] Lord, I love the dwelling of Your house, And the place where Your glory remains. [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 will walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. [12] My foot stands on level ground; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
