¹ [Of David] Yahweh, be my judge! I go on my way in innocence, my trust in Yahweh never wavers.

² Probe me, Yahweh, examine me, Test my heart and my mind in the fire.

³ For your faithful love is before my eyes, and I live my life by your truth.

⁴ No sitting with wastrels for me, no travelling with hypocrites;

⁵ I hate the company of sinners, I refuse to sit down with the wicked.

⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence and join the procession round your altar, Yahweh,

⁷ to make heard the sound of thanksgiving, to proclaim all your wonders.

⁸ Yahweh, I love the beauty of your house and the place where your glory dwells.

⁹ Do not couple me with sinners, nor my life with men of violence,

¹⁰ whose hands are stained with guilt, their right hands heavy with bribes.

¹¹ In innocence I will go on my way; ransom me, take pity on me.

¹² I take my stand on the right path; I will bless you, Yahweh, in the assemblies.
