| 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. |
