1 Lord, defend me.I have lived an innocent life.I trusted the Lord and never doubted.
2 Lord, try me and test me.Look closely into my heart and mind.
3 I see your love.I live by your truth.
4 I do not spend time with liars.I do not make friends with people who hide their sin.
5 I hate the company of evil people.I won’t sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands to show I am innocent.I come to your altar, Lord.
7 I raise my voice in praise.I tell of all the miracles you have done.
8 Lord, I love the Temple where you live.It is where your greatness is.
9 Do not kill me with those sinners.Do not take my life with those murderers.
10 Evil is in their hands.They do wrong for money.
11 But I have lived an innocent life.So save me and be kind to me.
12 I stand in a safe place.Lord, I praise you in the great meeting.
