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:
