^1 [a](a)Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have ^(b)walked in my integrity,
And I have ^(c)trusted in the Lord ^[b](d)without wavering.
^2 (e)Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
^(f)Test my ^[c]mind and my heart.
³ For Your ^(g)lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have ^(h)walked in Your ^[d]truth.
⁴ I do not ⁽ⁱ⁾sit with ^[e]deceitful men,
Nor will I go with ^[f](j)pretenders.
⁵ I ^(k)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
⁶ I shall ^(l)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about ^(m)Your altar, O Lord,
⁷ That I may proclaim with the voice of ⁽ⁿ⁾thanksgiving
And declare all Your ^[g]wonders.

⁸ O Lord, I ^(o)love the habitation of Your house
And the place ^[h]where Your ^(p)glory dwells.
^9 (q)Do not ^[i]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with ^(r)men of bloodshed,
¹⁰ In whose hands is a ^(s)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of ^(t)bribes.
¹¹ But as for me, I shall ^(u)walk in my integrity;
^(v)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
^12 (w)My foot stands on a ^(x)level place;
In the ^(y)congregations I shall bless the Lord.
