ISV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNET Bible
1Vindicate me, LORD, because I have walked in integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.1By David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering.
2Examine me, LORD, and inspect me! Test my heart and mind. 2Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives!
3For your gracious love precedes me, and I continuously walk according to your truth.3For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.
4I do not sit with those committed to what is false, nor do I travel with hypocrites.4I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.
5I hate the company of those who practice evil, nor do I sit with the wicked.5I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.
6I wash my hands innocently. I go around your altar, LORD,6I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD,
7so I may praise you loudly with thanksgiving and declare all your wondrous acts.7to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds.
8LORD, I love the dwelling place that is your house, the place where your glory resides.8O LORD, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed.
9Do not group me with sinners, nor include me with men who shed blood.9Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people,
10Their hands are filled with wicked schemes, and their right hands with bribes.10who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe.
11But as for me, I walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me!11But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!
12My feet stand on level ground; among the worshiping congregations I will bless the LORD.12I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the LORD.
