The Book of Psalms

Judge me, O Lord ; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord ; therefore I shall not slide.

Examine me, O Lord , and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord :

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Lord , I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.(a)

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:(b)

(c)

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.(d)

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord .
