A Psalm of David.
Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah {Or, I shall not slide}without wavering.
Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;
Try my {Hebrew: reins.}heart and my mind.
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;
And I have walked in thy truth.
I have not sat with men of falsehood;
Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
I will wash my hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
That I may {Or, publish with the voice of thanksgiving}make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.
Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,
And the place {Hebrew: of the tabernacle of thy glory.}where thy glory dwelleth.
{Or, Take not away}Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of blood;
In whose hands is wickedness,
And their right hand is full of bribes.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
My foot standeth in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
