| 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, LORD, because I have walked in integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. |
| 2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try 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 have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites. | 4I do not sit with those committed to what is false, nor do I travel with hypocrites. |
| 5I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked. | 5I hate the company of those who practice evil, nor do I sit with the wicked. |
| 6I will wash my hands in innocence; So 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 tell of all Your wondrous works. | 7so I may praise you loudly with thanksgiving and declare all your wondrous acts. |
| 8LORD, I have loved 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 gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, | 9Do not group me with sinners, nor include me with men who shed blood. |
| 10In whose hands is a sinister 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 will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me. | 11But as for me, I 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 feet stand on level ground; among the worshiping congregations I will bless the LORD. |
