New King James VersionEnglish Standard Version
1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip.1Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.2Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind.
3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.3For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.
4I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.4I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites.
5I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O LORD,6I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O LORD,
7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.7proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds.
8LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.8O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,9Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.10in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the LORD.12My foot stands on level ground; in the great assembly I will bless the LORD.
