1By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.
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.
2Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified <FI>are<Fi> 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.
3For Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually 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 vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.
4I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
5I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.
5I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
6I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.
6I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
7To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.
7That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
8Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
9Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
9Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
10In whose hand <FI>is<Fi> a wicked device, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> full of bribes.
10In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
