1 Show that I am right, Lord!I stay true to myself,and I have trusted youwithout doubting.
2 Test my thoughts and find outwhat I am like.
3 I never forget your kindness,and I am always faithfulto you.
4 I don't spend my timewith worthless liars
5 or go with evil crowds.
6 I wash my hands, Lord,to show my innocence,and I worship at your altar,
7 while gratefully singingabout your wonders.
8 I love the templewhere you live, and whereyour glory shines.
9 Don't sweep me away,as you do sinners.Don't punish me with deathas you do those peoplewho are brutal
10 or full of meannessor who bribe others.
11 I stay true to myself.Be kind and rescue me.
12 Now I stand on solid ground!And when your people meet,I will praise you, Lord.
