 1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Lord. For I have walked in my truthfullness. I have trusted also in the Lord; I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me. Purify my heart and my mind. 3 For your lovingkindness is before my eyes. And I have walked in your truth. 4 I have not sat with lying men, neither will I go in with hypocrites. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash my hands in innocence. So I will go around your altar, O Lord, 7 so that I may cry out with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wonderful works. 8 Lord, I have loved the dwelling place of your house and the place where your honor lives. 9 Do not take away my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men 10 in whose hands is a plot, and their right hand is full of a bribe. 11 But I will walk in my truthfullness. Redeem me and be merciful to me. 12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
