Protestation of Integrity, and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David. |
|
| |
|
1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
|
|
2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;
Try my heart and my mind.
|
Prove me – He proves to see if we are worthy--to see if we love him best or love self best. R5914:1
|
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;
And I have walked in thy truth.
|
|
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood;
Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
|
|
5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
|
|
6 I will wash my hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
|
|
7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.
|
|
8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,
And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
|
|
9 Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of blood;
|
|
10 In whose hands is wickedness,
And their right hand is full of bribes.
|
|
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
|
|
12 My foot standeth in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless Jehovah. |
