1 Vindicate me, Lord,because I have lived with integrityand have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2 Test me, Lord, and try me;examine my heart and mind.
3 For Your faithful love is before my eyes,and I live by Your truth.
4 I do not sit with the worthlessor associate with hypocrites.
5 I hate a crowd of evildoers,and I do not sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence and go around Your altar, Lord,
7 raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about Your wonderful works.
8 Lord, I love the house where You dwell,the place where Your glory resides.
9 Do not destroy me along with sinners,or my life along with men of bloodshed
10 in whose hands are evil schemesand whose right hands are filled with bribes.
11 But I live with integrity;redeem me and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on level ground; I will praise the Lord in the assemblies.
