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