The Book of Psalms

A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.

Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.

For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.

I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.

I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.

I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,

That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.

O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:

In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.

But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.

Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
