*By David. Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have integrity, and I trust in the Lord without wavering.*Examine me, O Lord, and test me! Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives! *For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me. *I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest. *I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.*I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O Lord,*to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds. *O Lord, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed. *Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people, *who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe. *But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!*I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.
