Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David.
aVindicate me, O Lord, for I have bwalked in my integrity,
And I have ctrusted in the Lord dwithout wavering.
2 aExamine me, O Lord, and try me;
bTest my mind and my heart.
3 For Your alovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have bwalked in Your truth.
4 I do not asit with deceitful men,
Nor will I go with bpretenders.
5 I ahate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall awash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about bYour altar, O Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of athanksgiving
And declare all Your wonders.
8 O Lord, I alove the habitation of Your house
And the place where Your bglory dwells.
9 aDo not take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with bmen of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a awicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bbribes.
11 But as for me, I shall awalk in my integrity;
bRedeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 aMy foot stands on a blevel place;
In the ccongregations I shall bless the Lord.
