The Book of Psalms

BY DAVID. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity, || And I have trusted in YHWH, || I do not slide.

Try me, O YHWH, and prove me, || My reins and my heart [are] purified,

For Your kindness [is] before my eyes, || And I have habitually walked in Your truth.

I have not sat with vain men, || And I do not enter with pretenders.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers, || And I do not sit with the wicked.

I wash my hands in innocence, || And I go around Your altar, O YHWH.

To sound with a voice of confession, || And to recount all Your wonders.

YHWH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, || And the place of the Dwelling Place of Your glory.

Do not gather my soul with sinners, || And my life with men of blood,

In whose hand [is] a wicked scheme, || And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

And I walk in my integrity, || Redeem me, and favor me.

My foot has stood in uprightness, || In assemblies I bless YHWH!

Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
