Psalm 25

¹ A Psalm of David.

Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine innocence:

and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

² Prove me, O Lord, and try me;

purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

³ For thy mercy is before mine eyes:

and I am well-pleased with thy truth.

⁴ I have not sat with the council of vanity,

and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

⁵ I have hated the assembly of wicked doers;

and will not sit with ungodly men.

⁶ I will wash my hands in ^[1]innocence,

and compass thine altar, O Lord:

⁷ to hear the voice of praise,

and to declare all thy wonderful works.

⁸ O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house,

and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.

⁹ Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly,

nor my life with bloody men:

¹⁰ in whose hands are iniquities,

and their right hand is filled with bribes.

¹¹ But I have walked in mine innocence:

redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

¹² My foot standeth in ^[2]an even place:

in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
