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.
