2. Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
3. For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
4. I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
5. I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
6. I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
7. That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
8. Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
10. In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
