King James Version KJV
1 By David: Vindicate me, ADONAI, for I have lived a blameless life; unwaveringly I trust in ADONAI.
1
Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, ADONAI, test me, search my mind and heart.
2
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For your grace is there before my eyes, and I live my life by your truth.
3
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with worthless folks, I won't consort with hypocrites,
4
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I hate the company of evildoers, I will not sit with the wicked.
5
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence and walk around your altar, ADONAI,
6
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7 lifting my voice in thanks and proclaiming all your wonders.
7
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 ADONAI, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory abides.
8
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Don't include me with sinners or my life with the bloodthirsty.
9
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In their hands are evil schemes; their right hands are full of bribes.
10
In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 As for me, I will live a blameless life. Redeem me and show me favor.
11
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My feet are planted on level ground; in the assemblies I will bless ADONAI.
12
My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
