A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: And hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
Purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
For thy mercy is before mine eyes:
And I am well pleased with thy truth.
I have not sat with the council of vanity,
And will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
I have hated the assembly of wicked doers;
And will not sit with ungodly men.
I will wash my hands in innocency,
And compass thine altar, O Lord:
To hear the voice of praise,
And to declare all thy wonderful works.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house,
And the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly,
Nor my life with bloody men:
In whose hands are iniquities,
And their right hand is filled with bribes.
But I have walked in my innocence:
Redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
My foot stands in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
