therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins

and my heart. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

and I have walked in thy truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither

will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers;

and will not sit with the wicked. I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will

I compass thine altar, O Lord: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,

and tell of all thy wondrous works. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house,

and the place where thine honour dwelleth. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life

with bloody men: In whose hands is mischief, and their right

hand is full of bribes. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:

redeem me, and be merciful unto me. My foot standeth in an even place: in the

congregations will I bless the Lord.
