1 Vindicate me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity and trusted in the LORD;

2 Examine me, LORD, and test me;

3 For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I have walked in your faithfulness.

4 I have not sat with false men, nor will I join those who conceal what they are.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, LORD,

7 to sound my thanksgiving aloud and recount all your wonders.

8 LORD, I love the dwelling of your house and the place where your glory resides.

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners or my life with bloodthirsty men,

10 whose hands hold wicked schemes and whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 But I will walk in my integrity;

12 My foot stands on level ground;
