5I have hated the assemblage of evil-doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.
6I will wash in innocency my hands, and I will compass thy altar, O Lord:
7That I may publish with a loud voice my thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.
8Lord, I love the site of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;
10In whose hands are wicked devices, and whose right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
12My foot standeth on an even place: in assemblies will I bless the Lord.
