261 Vindicate me, O Lord , for I have walked in my integrity , And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering . 2 Examine me, O Lord , and try me; Test my mind and my heart . 3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes , And I have walked in Your truth . 4 I do not sit with deceitful men , Nor will I go with pretenders . 5 I hate the assembly of evildoers , And I will not sit with the wicked .
6 I shall wash my hands in innocence , And I will go about Your altar , O Lord , 7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders . 8 O Lord , I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells . 9 Do not take my soul away along with sinners , Nor my life with men of bloodshed , 10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme , And whose right hand is full of bribes . 11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity ; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. 12 My foot stands on a level place ; In the congregations I shall bless the Lord .
