Vindicate me, O Lord

1
A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.
2
Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3
For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
4
I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5
I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
6
I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7
That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
8
O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9
Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10
In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11
But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
12
My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.

Vindicate me, O Lord

1
Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
2
Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3
For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4
I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6
I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,
7
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8
LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9
Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men
10
in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
