¹A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.

²Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

³For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

⁴I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

⁵I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

⁶I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

⁷singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

⁸Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

⁹Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

¹⁰whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

¹¹For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

¹²I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
