5. I hate the congregation of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6. I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
7. That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8. Lord, I love 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 is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12. My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
