Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David.
2 APs 17:3; 139:23Examine me, O Loʀᴅ, and try me;
BPs 7:9Test my 1Lit kidneys, figurative for inner manmind and my heart.
3 For Your APs 48:9lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have B2 Kin 20:3; Ps 86:11walked in Your 1Or faithfulnesstruth.
Nor will I go with 2Or dissemblers, hypocritesBPs 28:3pretenders.
5 I APs 31:6; 139:21hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall APs 73:13wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about BPs 43:3, 4Your altar, O Loʀᴅ,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of APs 9:1thanksgiving
And declare all Your 1Or miracleswonders.
8 O Loʀᴅ, I APs 27:4love the habitation of Your house
And the place 1Lit of the tabernacle of Your glorywhere Your BPs 24:7glory dwells.
Nor my life with BPs 139:19men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a APs 37:7wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of BPs 15:5bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall APs 26:1walk in my integrity;
BPs 44:26; 69:18Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
In the CPs 22:22congregations I shall bless the Loʀᴅ.
