¹ (By David.) Show that I am right, LORD! I stay true to myself, and I have trusted you without doubting. ² Test my thoughts and find out what I am like. ³ I never forget your kindness, and I am always faithful to you. ⁴ I don't spend my time with worthless liars ⁵ or go with evil crowds. ⁶ I wash my hands, LORD, to show my innocence, and I worship at your altar, ⁷ while gratefully singing about your wonders. ⁸ I love the temple where you live, and where your glory shines. ⁹ Don't sweep me away, as you do sinners. Don't punish me with death as you do those people who are brutal ¹⁰ or full of meanness or who bribe others. ¹¹ I stay true to myself. Be kind and rescue me. ¹² Now I stand on solid ground! And when your people meet, I will praise you, LORD.
