| Chapter 25 |
1 | Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened. |
2 | Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart. |
3 | For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth. |
4 | I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things. |
5 | I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit. |
6 | I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord: |
7 | That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works. |
8 | I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth. |
9 | Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men: |
10 | In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts. |
11 | But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me. |
12 | My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord. |
