Vindicate Me, O LORD

Of David.

Vindicate me, O LORD!

For I have walked with integrity;

I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

Test me, O LORD, and try me;

examine my heart(a)26:2 Hebrew my kidneys and mind.Psa 7:9

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes,

and I have walked in Your truth.

I do not sit with deceitful men,

nor keep company with hypocrites.Job 31:5

I hate the mob of evildoers,

and refuse to sit with the wicked.Psa 119:128

I wash my hands in innocence

that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,Deu 21:6; Psa 23:6; Psa 42:2

to raise my voice in thanksgiving

and declare all Your wonderful works.

O LORD, I love the house where You dwell,

the place where Your glory resides.Luk 2:37; Psa 27:4

Do not take my soul away with sinners,

or my life with men of bloodshed,

in whose hands are wicked schemes,

whose right hands are full of bribes.

But I will walk with integrity;

redeem me and be merciful to me.

My feet stand on level ground;

in the congregations I will bless the LORD.Psa 22:22
