GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 Judge me favorably, O LORD, because I have walked with integrity and I have trusted you without wavering.
1
A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and test me. Look closely into my heart and mind.
2
Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
3 I see your mercy in front of me. I walk in the light of your truth.
3
For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
4 I did not sit with liars, and I will not be found among hypocrites.
4
I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I have hated the mob of evildoers and will not sit with wicked people.
5
I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence. I will walk around your altar, O LORD,
6
I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7 so that I may loudly sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell about all your miracles.
7
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.
8 O LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
8
Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.
9 Do not sweep away my soul along with hardened sinners or my life along with bloodthirsty people.
9
Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 Evil schemes are in their hands. Their right hands are full of bribes.
10
In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But I walk with integrity. Rescue me, and have pity on me.
11
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 My feet stand on level ground. I will praise the LORD with the choirs in worship.
12
My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
