A Psalm of David.

1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

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

3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: And I have walked in thy truth.

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

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

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

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

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, And the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloody men:

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

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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