Holman Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1Davidic. Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 1By David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering.
2Test me, LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind. 2Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives!
3For Your faithful love is before my eyes, and I live by Your truth. 3For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.
4I do not sit with the worthless or associate with hypocrites. 4I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.
5I hate a crowd of evildoers, and I do not sit with the wicked. 5I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence and go around Your altar, LORD, 6I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD,
7raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about Your wonderful works. 7to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds.
8 LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides. 8O LORD, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed.
9Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed 9Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people,
10in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes. 10who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe.
11But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me. 11But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!
12My foot stands on level ground; I will praise the LORD in the assemblies. 12I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the LORD.
