New Living Translation | New International Version |
1Declare me innocent, O LORD, for I have acted with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. | 1Of David. Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered. |
2Put me on trial, LORD, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart. | 2Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; |
3For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth. | 3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. |
4I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites. | 4I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites. |
5I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked. | 5I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. |
6I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O LORD, | 6I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD, |
7singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders. | 7proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds. |
8I love your sanctuary, LORD, the place where your glorious presence dwells. | 8LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells. |
9Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners. Don’t condemn me along with murderers. | 9Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty, |
10Their hands are dirty with evil schemes, and they constantly take bribes. | 10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. |
11But I am not like that; I live with integrity. So redeem me and show me mercy. | 11I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me. |
12Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the LORD. | 12My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD. |
