New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
|
1 Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
|
|
2 Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.
|
2 Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
|
|
3 For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.
|
3 for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
|
|
4 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
|
4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
|
|
5 I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
|
5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
|
|
6 I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
|
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
|
|
7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
|
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
|
|
8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
|
8 I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.
|
|
9 Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
|
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
|
|
10 In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.
|
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
|
|
11 And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.
|
11 But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me.
|
|
12 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
|
12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.
