[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.
