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 Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
2
Examine me, O LORD, and prove 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 lovingkindness 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 will I go 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 will not sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
7
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
10
In whose hands is mischief, 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 merciful unto me.
