Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh

¹Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity,

And I have trusted in Yahweh; I will not waver.

²Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;

Refine my mind and my heart.

³For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,

And I have walked in Your truth.

⁴I do not sit with worthless men,

And I will not go with pretenders.

⁵I hate the assembly of evildoers,

And I will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I shall wash my hands in innocence,

So I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh,

⁷In order to proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving

And to recount all Your wondrous deeds.

⁸¶O Yahweh, I love the habitation of Your house

And the place where Your glory dwells.

⁹Do not take my soul away along with sinners,[#26:9 Lit gather]

Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

¹⁰In whose hands is a wicked scheme,

And whose right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;

Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

¹²My foot stands on level ground;

In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
