2Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth.
4I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly men.
6I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord:
7to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works.
8O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
9Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
