A Psalm of David

1. Judge me, O Lord;
   for I have walked in mine integrity:
   I have trusted also in the Lord;
   therefore I shall not slide.
2. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me;
   try my reins and my heart.
3. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:
   and I have walked in thy truth.
4. I have not sat with vain persons,
   neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5. I have hated the congregations of evildoers;
   and will not sit with the wicked.
6. I will wash mine hands in innocency:
   so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
7. That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
   and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house,
   and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9. Gather not my soul with sinners,
   nor my life with bloody men:
10. In whose hands is mischief,
    and their right hand is full of bribes.
11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
    redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12. My foot standeth in an even place:
    in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

(KJV)
