2
Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
3
For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
4
I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
5
I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.
6
I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.
8
Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.
9
Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10
In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12
My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
