| 1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened. | 1 A Psalm of David.To thee, O LORD, I lift up my soul. |
| 2 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart. | 2 O my God, in thee I trust, let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. |
| 3 For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth. | 3 Yea, let none that wait for thee be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. |
| 4 I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice. | 4 Make me to know thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. |
| 5 I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious. | 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long. |
| 6 I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord, | 6 Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love, for they have been from of old. |
| 7 so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders. | 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions; according to thy steadfast love remember me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD! |
| 8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory. | 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. |
| 9 O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood, | 9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. |
| 10 in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes. | 10 All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
| 11 But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me. | 11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great. |
| 12 My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord. | 12 Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. |
| 13 He himself shall abide in prosperity, and his children shall possess the land. |
| 14 The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. |
| 15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. |
| 16 Turn thou to me, and be gracious to me; for I am lonely and afflicted. |
| 17 Relieve the troubles of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses. |
| 18 Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins. |
| 19 Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me. |
| 20 Oh guard my life, and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. |
| 21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee. |
| 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. |
