[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.
