Translation

(1) [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

(2) Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.

(3) For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.

(4) I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

(5) I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

(6) I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,

(7) That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

(8) LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

(9) Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

(10) In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

(11) But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

(12) My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
