25
1 A Psalm of David.
Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence:
And hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
Purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3 For thy mercy is before mine eyes:
And I am well pleased with thy truth.
4 I have not sat with the council of vanity,
And will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers;
And will not sit with ungodly men.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency,
And compass thine altar, O Lord:
7 To hear the voice of praise,
And to declare all thy wonderful works.
8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house,
And the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly,
Nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands are iniquities,
And their right hand is filled with bribes.
11 But I have walked in my innocence:
Redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
12 My foot stands in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
