David professeth unto God his integrity. (A Psalm of David.)

¹⁾Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity; I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

²⁾Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

³⁾For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.

⁴⁾I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵⁾I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.

⁶⁾I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine altar, O Lord;

⁷⁾That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸⁾Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.

⁹⁾Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men;

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

¹¹⁾But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²⁾My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
