1 O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.
1By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
1The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
2Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
2Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified <FI>are<Fi> my reins and my heart.
2Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.
3For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
3For Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.
3If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.
4I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
4I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
4One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
5I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
5For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
5I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.
6I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
6I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
6He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
6I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
7That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
7To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
7Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
8Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
8My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
9Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
9Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
9Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;
10In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
10In whose hand <FI>is<Fi> a wicked device, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> full of bribes.
10For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
10In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
11And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.
11Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
12My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
12Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
12My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
