Tap a verse to highlight it

1 By David. Judge me, Lord, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Lord without wavering.

2 Examine me, Lord, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

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

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

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Lord;

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

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

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

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

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

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