1 Declare me innocent, O LORD; I’ve walked in blameless ways, and I have trusted in the LORD, not wav’ring all my days. 2 Test me, O LORD, and try my heart; my inmost thoughts survey. 3 Your love surrounds me; from your truth my feet will never stray. 4 I do not sit with worthless folk; I shun the hypocrite. 5 I hate the wicked’s gatherings; with them I will not sit. 6 I wash my hands in innocence, and blameless is my heart; I go about your altar, LORD— the place you set apart. 7 I’ll tell of all your awesome deeds, proclaiming loud your praise. 8 Your glory fills your dwelling-place; I love your house always. 9 Sweep not away my soul, O LORD, with those who hate your way; Nor take away my life with those who love to wound and slay. 10 For their right hands are full of bribes; they plot iniquity. 11 But I will lead a blameless life— in mercy set me free. 12 My feet will stand with confidence upon a level place, and in the people’s gathering I’ll praise the LORD of grace. – Sing Psalms
