1. Vindicate me, Lord,for I have led a blameless life;I have trusted in the Lordand have not faltered.
2. Test me, Lord, and try me,examine my heart and my mind;
3. for I have always been mindful of your unfailing loveand have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
4. I do not sit with the deceitful,nor do I associate with hypocrites.
5. I abhor the assembly of evildoersand refuse to sit with the wicked.
6. I wash my hands in innocence,and go about your altar, Lord,
7. proclaiming aloud your praiseand telling of all your wonderful deeds.
