Of David.

1 Vindicate me,¹ O LORD, for I have led a blameless life;² I have trusted³ in the LORD without wavering.⁴ 2 Test me,⁵ O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;⁶ 3 for your love⁷ is ever before me, and I walk continually⁸ in your truth.⁹ 4 I do not sit¹⁰ with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;¹¹ 5 I abhor¹² the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. 6 I wash my hands in innocence,¹³ and go about your altar, O LORD, 7 proclaiming aloud your praise¹⁴ and telling of all your wonderful deeds.¹⁵ 8 I love¹⁶ the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.¹⁷ 9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,¹⁸ 10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,¹⁹ whose right hands are full of bribes.²⁰ 11 But I lead a blameless life; redeem me²¹ and be merciful to me. 12 My feet stand on level ground;²² in the great assembly²³ I will praise the LORD.
