¹ Declare me innocent, O LORD, because I do what is right and trust you completely. ² Examine me and test me, LORD; judge my desires and thoughts. ³ Your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me. ⁴ I do not keep company with worthless people; I have nothing to do with hypocrites. ⁵ I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked. ⁶ LORD, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent and march in worship around your altar. ⁷ I sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell of all your wonderful deeds. ⁸ I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells. ⁹ Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers--- ¹⁰ those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes. ¹¹ As for me, I do what is right; be merciful to me and save me! ¹² I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the LORD.
