[¶0] Of David

[¶1] 1 Judge me, O Jehovah: Because in my integrity I have walked, And in Jehovah have trusted, I shall not stumble.

[¶2] 2 Prove me, O Jehovah! and try me, Examine my reins and my heart.

[¶3] 3 For thy goodness is before my eyes; Therefore I have walked in thy truth.

[¶4] 4 I have not sat with men of vanity, And with crafty men I will not go in.

[¶5] 5 I hate the assembly of transgressors, And with the wicked I will not sit.

[¶6] 6 I will wash in purity my hands, And will encompass thy altar, O Jehovah!

[¶7] 7 To cause to be heard the voice of praise, And to tell of all thy marvelous deeds.

[¶8] 8 O Jehovah! I have loved the habitation of thy house, And the place of the dwelling of thy glory.

[¶9] 9 Gather not with ungodly men, my soul, Nor with men of bloods my life.

[¶10] 10 For in their hands is maliciousness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

[¶11] 11 But as for me in my integrity I will walk: Redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

[¶12] 12 My foot hath stood in uprightness: In the congregations will I bless thee, O Jehovah!
