1Protestation of integrity, and prayer for protection.
A Psalm of David.
Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:I have trusted also in Jehovah 1without wavering.2Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;Try my 2heart and my mind.3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;And I have walked in thy truth.4I have not sat with men of falsehood;Neither will I go in with dissemblers.5I hate the assembly of evil-doers,And will not sit with the wicked.6I will wash my hands in innocency:So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;7That I may 3make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,And tell of all thy wondrous works.8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,And the place 4where thy glory dwelleth.95Gather not my soul with sinners,Nor my life with men of blood;10In whose hands is wickedness,And their right hand is full of bribes.11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.12My foot standeth in an even place:In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
