| 6I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD, | 6I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, LORD, |
| 7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. | 7raising my voice in thanksgiving and telling about your wondrous works. |
| 8O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. | 8LORD, I love the house where you dwell, the place where your glory resides. |
| 9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, | 9Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed |
| 10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. | 10in whose hands are evil schemes and whose right hands are filled with bribes. |
| 11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. | 11But I live with integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me. |
| 12My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD. | 12My foot stands on level ground; I will bless the LORD in the assemblies. |
