Vindicate Me, O Lord

1{25:1}Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

2{25:2}Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

3{25:3}For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

4{25:4}I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

5{25:5}I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

6{25:6}I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7{25:7}That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8{25:8}I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9{25:9}Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

10{25:10}In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

11{25:11}But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12{25:12}My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
