| 1 Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. |
| 2 Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; |
| 3 for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth. |
| 4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites; |
| 5 I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. |
| 6 I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD, |
| 7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds. |
| 8 I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells. |
| 9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men, |
| 10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. |
| 11 But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me. |
| 12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD. |
