25
 1  A Psalm of David. 
Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: 
And hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved. 
 2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; 
Purify as with fire my reins and my heart. 
 3 For thy mercy is before mine eyes: 
And I am well pleased with thy truth. 
 4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, 
And will in nowise enter in with transgressors. 
 5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; 
And will not sit with ungodly men. 
 6 I will wash my hands in innocency, 
And compass thine altar, O Lord: 
 7 To hear the voice of praise, 
And to declare all thy wonderful works. 
 8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, 
And the place of the tabernacle of thy glory. 
 9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, 
Nor my life with bloody men: 
 10 In whose hands are iniquities, 
And their right hand is filled with bribes. 
 11 But I have walked in my innocence: 
Redeem me, and have mercy upon me. 
 12 My foot stands in an even place: 
In the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
