The pleading of integrity, as separate from sinners and loving Jehovah's house.

[A psalm] of David.

Judge me, Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity; I have trusted also in Jehovah,-I shall not totter.

2. Try me, Jehovah, and prove me:assay my reins and my heart.

3. For Thy mercy is before mine eyes, and I have walked in Thy truth.

4. I have not sat with men of falsehood, and do not go with dissemblers.

5. I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and do not sit with the wicked.

6. I will wash my hands in innocency, and [so] compass Thine altar, Jehovah ;

7. To proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and to declare all Thy wondrous works.

8. Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

9. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,

10. In whose hands is crime, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11. But as for me, I walk in mine integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me.

12. My foot standeth in an even place:in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
