Vindicate Me, O LORD

1Of David.

1 Judge me, O YHWH!

For I have walked in my integrity,

and I have trusted in YHWH without slipping.

2Examine me, O YHWH, and test me;

refine my kidneys and my heart.

3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes,

and I have walked in Your truth.

4I do not sit with men of vanity,

and with dissemblers I will not go in.

5I hate the assembly of evildoers,

and with the wicked I do not sit.

6I wash my hands in innocence,

and I go about Your altar, O YHWH,

7to sound with a voice of thanksgiving,

and to recount all Your wonders.

8O YHWH, I love the habitation of Your house,

and the place of the dwelling of Your glory.

9Do not gather my soul with sinners,

and my life with men of blood,

10in whose hands is a scheme,

and whose right hand is filled with a bribe.

11And I, in my integrity, walk;

redeem me and be merciful to me.

12My foot stands on level ground;

in the assemblies I will bless YHWH.
