New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 <> Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
|
1 Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
|
|
2 Examine me, O LORD, and test me; try my reins and my heart.
|
2 Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
|
|
3 For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked 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 persons, neither will I consort with dissemblers.
|
4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
|
|
5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
|
5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
|
|
6 I will wash mine hands in innocence; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,
|
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
|
|
7 that I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
|
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
|
|
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honor dwelleth.
|
8 I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.
|
|
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men,
|
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
|
|
10 in whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
|
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
|
|
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me and be merciful unto me.
|
11 But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me.
|
|
12 My foot standeth on a level place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
|
12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.
