New American Standard Bible 1995 | International Standard Version |
1A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. | 1Vindicate me, LORD, because I have walked in integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. |
2Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart. | 2Examine me, LORD, and inspect me! Test my heart and mind. |
3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. | 3For your gracious love precedes me, and I continuously walk according to your truth. |
4I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders. | 4I do not sit with those committed to what is false, nor do I travel with hypocrites. |
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. | 5I hate the company of those who practice evil, nor do I sit with the wicked. |
6I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD, | 6I wash my hands innocently. I go around your altar, LORD, |
7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. | 7so I may praise you loudly with thanksgiving and declare all your wondrous acts. |
8O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. | 8LORD, I love the dwelling place that is your house, the place where your glory resides. |
9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, | 9Do not group me with sinners, nor include me with men who shed blood. |
10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. | 10Their hands are filled with wicked schemes, and their right hands with bribes. |
11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. | 11But as for me, I walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me! |
12My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD. | 12My feet stand on level ground; among the worshiping congregations I will bless the LORD. |
