1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
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.
2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.
2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.
2Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.
3For thy lovingkindness 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.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
4I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
5I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.
5I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.
5I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
6I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
6I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
6I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
7That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
8Jehovah, I love 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.
9Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;
9Gather 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;
10In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.
10In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.
10In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
