¹ Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering. ² Examine me, O LORD, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives! ³ For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me. ⁴ I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest. ⁵ I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked. ⁶ I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD, ⁷ to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds. ⁸ O LORD, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed. ⁹ Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people, ¹⁰ who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe. ¹¹ But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me! ¹² I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the LORD.
