1  qVindicate me, O Lord,

for I have rwalked in my integrity,

and I have strusted in the Lord without wavering.

2  tProve me, O Lord, and try me;

test my heart and umy mind.1

3  For your vsteadfast love is before my eyes,

and I wwalk in your vfaithfulness.

4  I do not xsit with men of yfalsehood,

nor do I consort with hypocrites.

5  I zhate the assembly of evildoers,

and I will not sit with the wicked.

6  I awash my hands in innocence

and go around your altar, O Lord,

7  proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,

and telling all your bwondrous deeds.

8  O Lord, I clove the habitation of your house

and the place where your glory dwells.

9  dDo 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 ebribes.

11  But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;

redeem me, and be gracious to me.

12  My foot stands on flevel ground;

in gthe great assembly I will bless the Lord.
