1 ([A Psalm] of David.) Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.

2 Examine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.

3 For Thy lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Thy truth.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.

6 I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Thine altar, O Lord,

7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And declare all Thy wonders.

8 O Lord, I love the habitation of Thy house, And the place where Thy glory dwells.

9 Do not take my soul away [along] with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

12 My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the Lord.
