|
| |
|
| 1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. |
|
| 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. |
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 vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. |
|
| 5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked. |
|
| 6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: |
|
| 7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. |
|
| 8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. |
|
| 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: |
|
| 10 In whose hands is mischief, 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 the LORD. |
