| 3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. | 3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. |
| 4I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites. | 4I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders. |
| 5I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. | 5I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. |
| 6I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD, | 6I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD, |

| 9Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty, | 9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, |
| 10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. | 10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. |
| 11I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me. | 11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. |
| 12My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD. | 12My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD. |
