1A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And 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, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.2Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives!
3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.3For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.
4I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders.4I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.5I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.
6I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD,6I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD,
7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders.7to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds.
8O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells.8O LORD, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed.
9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,9Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people,
10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.10who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe.
11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.11But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!
12My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD.12I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the LORD.
