1
A Psalm of David.
1
Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
2
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3
For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth.
4
I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5
I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly men.
6
I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord:
7
to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works.
8
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
9
Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
10
in whose hands are iniquities, and their right hand is filled with bribes.
11
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
12
My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
