1Of David. Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.1Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;2Test me, LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.
3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.3For your faithful love guides me, and I live by your truth.
4I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.4I do not sit with the worthless or associate with hypocrites.
5I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.5I hate a crowd of evildoers, and I do not sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,6I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, LORD,
7proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.7raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about your wondrous works.
8LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.8LORD, I love the house where you dwell, the place where your glory resides.
9Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,9Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed
10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.10in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes.
11I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.11But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me.
12My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.12My foot stands on level ground; I will bless the LORD in the assemblies.
