1[208]Vindicate me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the LORD [209]without wavering.
2Examine me, LORD, and put me to the test; Refine my [210]mind and my heart.
3For Your [211]goodness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
4I do not sit with [212]deceitful people, Nor will I go with [213]pretenders.
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocence, And I will go around Your altar, LORD,
7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your [214]wonders.
8LORD, I love the dwelling of Your house, And the place [215]where Your glory remains.
9Do not [216]take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12My foot stands on level ground; In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
