A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

 For thy loving-kindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

 I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor dwelleth.

 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.

 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
