1 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

3 For your mercy is before my eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly men.

6 I will wash my hands in *Gr. innocent things. innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:

7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.

8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.

9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

10 in whose hands are iniquities, and their right hand is filled with bribes.

11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

12 My foot stands in †Gr. in evenness or uprightness. an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
