6. I will wash mine hands in nikkayon (innocency, cleanness, freedom from punishment); so will I encompass Thine Mizbe'ach, Hashem;
7. That I may publish with the voice of todah, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
8. Hashem, I have loved the ma'on of Thy Bais [HaMikdash], and the Mishkan where Thine kavod dwelleth.
9. Take not away my nefesh with chatta'im (sinners), nor my Chai (life) with anshei damim;
10. In whose hands is zimmah (wicked plans), and their right hand is full of shochad (bribery).
11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, v'chaneini (and be merciful and gracious unto me).
12. My regel standeth on level ground; in the great assemblies unto Hashem will I render berakhah.
