1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.stylus2Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.stylus3For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.stylus4I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.stylus5I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.stylus6I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,stylus7so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.stylus8O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.stylus9O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,stylus10in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.stylus11But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.stylus12My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.stylus
