Young's Literal Translation YLT
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, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORDand have not faltered.
2 Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.
2
Test me, 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 I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
4 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
4
I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate 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, 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
LORD, I love the house where you live, 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 those who are bloodthirsty,
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
I lead a blameless life; deliver 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 congregation I will praise the LORD.
