1 Vindicate me, O Lord,for I have integrity,and I trust in the Lord without wavering.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and test me!Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives!
3 For I am ever aware of your faithfulness,and your loyalty continually motivates me.
4 I do not associate with deceitful men,or consort with those who are dishonest.
5 I hate the mob of evil men,and do not associate with the wicked.
6 I maintain a pure lifestyle,so I can appear before your altar, O Lord,
7 to give you thanks,and to tell about all your amazing deeds.
8 O Lord, I love the temple where you live,the place where your splendor is revealed.
9 Do not sweep me away with sinners,or execute me along with violent people,
10 who are always ready to do wrongor offer a bribe.
11 But I have integrity!Rescue me and have mercy on me!
12 I am safe,and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.
