Vindicate Me, O LORD

1To David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I went in mine integrity, and in Jehovah I trusted: I shall not waver.

2Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me; refine my reins and my heart.

3For thy mercy is before mine eyes, and I walked about in thy truth.

4I sat not with men of vanity, and I will not go in with those lying hid.

5I hated the convocation of those being evil, and with the unjust I will not sit.

6I will wash my hands in cleanness, and I will surround thine altar, O Jehovah:

7To hear with the voice of praise, and to recount all thy wonders.

8O Jehovah, I loved the habitation of thy house, and the place of the dwelling of thine honor.

9Thou wilt not gather my soul with the sinning, and my life with men of bloods:

10Which in their hands mischief, and their right hand filled with gifts.

11And I, I will go in mine integrity: redeem me and pity me.

12My foot stood in straightness: in the convocations will I praise Jehovah.
