1 Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O Lord and prove me; melt my kidneys and my heart.
3 For thy mercy is before my eyes, and I walk in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency, so I will walk near unto thine altar, O Lord:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
9 Gather not my soul with the sinners, nor my life with those who have blood on their hands:
10 In whose hands are wicked devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; ransom me and be merciful unto me.
12 I have walked uprightly; in the congregations I will bless the Lord.
