**1 **\{*A Psalm* of David.} 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.

**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 evil doers; 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.
