[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

לדוד: שפטני יהוה-- כי-אני, בתמי הלכתי;וביהוה בטחתי, לא אמעד.
2

Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.

בחנני יהוה ונסני; צרופה צרפה כליותי ולבי.
3

For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.

כי-חסדך, לנגד עיני; והתהלכתי, באמתך.
4

I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

לא-ישבתי, עם-מתי-שוא; ועם נעלמים, לא אבוא.
5

I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

שנאתי, קהל מרעים; ועם-רשעים, לא אשב.
6

I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,

ארחץ בנקיון כפי; ואסבבה את-מזבחך יהוה.
7

That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

לשמע, בקול תודה; ולספר, כל-נפלאותיך.
8

LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

יהוה--אהבתי, מעון ביתך; ומקום, משכן כבודך.
9

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

אל-תאסף עם-חטאים נפשי; ועם-אנשי דמים חיי.
10

In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

אשר-בידיהם זמה; וימינם, מלאה שחד.
11

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

ואני, בתמי אלך; פדני וחנני.
12

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

רגלי, עמדה במישור; במקהלים, אברך יהוה.
