Back to Bible
1 Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering. ⓐ
2 Test me, LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind. ⓑ
3 For Your faithful love is before my eyes, and I live by Your truth. ⓒ
4 I do not sit with the worthless or associate with hypocrites.
5 I hate a crowd of evildoers, and I do not sit with the wicked. ⓓ
6 I wash my hands [1] in innocence ⓔ and go around Your altar, LORD, ⓕ
7 raising my voice in thanksgiving ⓖ and telling about Your wonderful works. ⓗ
8 LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides. ⓘ
9 Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed ⓙ
10 in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes. ⓚ
11 But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me. ⓛ
12 My foot stands on level ground; ⓜ I will praise the LORD in the assemblies. ⓝ
