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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

13(not in this translation)

13I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

14(not in this translation)

14Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
