1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.
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.
2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
2Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
3For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
4I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
5I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
6I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
7That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
8Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
9Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
10In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
