1. VINDICATE ME, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; I have [expectantly] trusted in, leaned on, and relied on the Lord without wavering and I shall not slide.
2. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.
3. For Your loving-kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth [faithfully].
4. I do not sit with false persons, nor fellowship with pretenders;
5. I hate the company of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.
6. I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O Lord,
7. That I may make the voice of thanksgiving heard and may tell of all Your wondrous works.
8. Lord, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.
9. Gather me not with sinners and sweep me not away [with them], nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
