New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
1
By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
2 Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart.
2
Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.
3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth.
3
For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.
4 I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.
4
I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
5
I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD,
6
I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
7 singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders.
7
To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
8 I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells.
8
Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
9 Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
9
Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes.
10
In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.
11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy.
11
And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.
12 Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD .
12
My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
