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.

1 Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.

2 Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart.

3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth.

4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

4 I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.

5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.

5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD,

7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

7 singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders.

8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.

8 I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells.

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

9 Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers.

10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy.

12 My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.

12 Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD .
