1 Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity; in the LORD I have trusted, and I will not slip.
2 Test me, O LORD, and try me; smelt my inmost being and my heart.
3 For your steadfast love is in front of my eyes, and I have walked about in your truth.
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, and with those who hide what they are I do not go.
5 I have hated the gathering of evildoers, and with the wicked I will not sit.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence and walk around your altar, O LORD,
7 to make the sound of thanksgiving heard and to tell of all your wonders.
8 O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.
9 Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,
10 in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hand is filled with bribes.
11 But I will walk in my integrity; ransom me and show me grace.
12 My foot has stood on level ground; in the assemblies I will bless the LORD.
