I Will Bless the Lord
Of David.
1 See Ps. 7:8Vindicate me, O Lord,
for I have ver. 11walked in my integrity,
and I have See Ps. 11:1trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2 See Ps. 7:9;17:3;139:23Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
test my heart and Ps. 7:9my mind.26:2 Hebrew test my kidneys and my heart
3 For your [Ps. 25:10] steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I 2 Kgs. 20:3;[Ps. 86:11]walk in your [Ps. 25:10] faithfulness.
4 I do not See Ps. 1:1sit with men of Job 11:11falsehood,
nor do I consort with hypocrites.
5 I Ps. 31:6;139:21,22hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I Ps. 73:13;[Ex. 30:19,20;Deut. 21:6]wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O Lord,
7 proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
and telling all your See Ps. 9:1wondrous deeds.
8 O Lord, I [Ps. 27:4]love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
9 [Ps. 28:3]Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 in whose hands are evil devices,
and whose right hands are full of Ex. 23:8;Deut. 16:19bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on See Ps. 27:11level ground;
in Ps. 22:25the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
