1 Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORDand have not faltered.
1
{[A Psalm] of David.} Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.
2 Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
2
Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
3
For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
4
I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
5
I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
6
I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
7
That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
8 LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
8
Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,
9
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
10
In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
11
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
12
My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
