| 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. | |
