By David: Vindicate me, ADONAI, for I have lived a blameless life; unwaveringly I trust in ADONAI.

Examine me, ADONAI, test me, search my mind and heart.

For your grace is there before my eyes, and I live my life by your truth.

I have not sat with worthless folks, I won't consort with hypocrites,

I hate the company of evildoers, I will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence and walk around your altar, ADONAI,

lifting my voice in thanks and proclaiming all your wonders.

ADONAI, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory abides.

Don't include me with sinners or my life with the bloodthirsty.

In their hands are evil schemes; their right hands are full of bribes.

As for me, I will live a blameless life. Redeem me and show me favor.

My feet are planted on level ground; in the assemblies I will bless ADONAI.

By David: ADONAI is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? ADONAI is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?

When evildoers assailed me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and foes, they stumbled and fell.

If an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear; if war breaks out against me, even then I will keep trusting.

Just one thing have I asked of ADONAI; only this will I seek: to live in the house of ADONAI all the days of my life, to see the beauty of ADONAI and visit in his temple.

For he will conceal me in his shelter on the day of trouble, he will hide me in the folds of his tent, he will set me high on a rock.

Then my head will be lifted up above my surrounding foes, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, sing praises to ADONAI.

Listen, ADONAI, to my voice when I cry; show favor to me; and answer me.

"My heart said of you, 'Seek my face.'"Your face, ADONAI, I will seek.

Do not hide your face from me, don't turn your servant away in anger. You are my help; don't abandon me; don't leave me, God my savior.
