1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity.
I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.
2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me.
Try my heart and my mind.
3For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I have walked in your truth.
4I have not sat with deceitful men,
neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocence,
so I will go about your altar, Yahweh;
7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,
the place where your glory dwells.
9Don’t gather my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10in whose hands is wickedness,
their right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
1To you, Yahweh, I call.
My rock, don’t be deaf to me;
lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.
5Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.
6Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him.
8Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9Save your people,
and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also,
and bear them up forever.
