| 1Vindicate me, LORD, because I have walked in integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. | 1Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. |
| 2Examine me, LORD, and inspect me! Test my heart and mind. | 2Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart. |
| 3For your gracious love precedes me, and I continuously walk according to your truth. | 3For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth. |
| 4I do not sit with those committed to what is false, nor do I travel with hypocrites. | 4I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites. |
| 5I hate the company of those who practice evil, nor do I sit with the wicked. | 5I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked. |
| 6I wash my hands innocently. I go around your altar, LORD, | 6I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD, |
| 7so I may praise you loudly with thanksgiving and declare all your wondrous acts. | 7singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders. |
| 8LORD, I love the dwelling place that is your house, the place where your glory resides. | 8I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells. |
| 9Do not group me with sinners, nor include me with men who shed blood. | 9Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers. |
| 10Their hands are filled with wicked schemes, and their right hands with bribes. | 10Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes. |
| 11But as for me, I walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me! | 11But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy. |
| 12My feet stand on level ground; among the worshiping congregations I will bless the LORD. | 12Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD. |
