1 [{A Psalm} of David.] Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

1 Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

4 I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

5 I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

6 I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

7 That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

8 Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

9 Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;

10 In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.

11 But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
