1
Declare me innocent, O Lord, because I do what is right and trust you completely.
2
Examine me and test me, Lord; judge my desires and thoughts.
3
Your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me.
4
I do not keep company with worthless people; I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
5
I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked.
6
Lord, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent and march in worship around your altar.
7
I sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell of all your wonderful deeds.
8
I love the house where you live, O Lord, the place where your glory dwells.
9
Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers -
10
those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes.
11
As for me, I do what is right; be merciful to me and save me!
