Psalms 25
1 A Psalm of
David.
Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my 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
aGr. innocent things.innocency, 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 my innocence:
redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
12 My foot stands in
bGr. in evenness or uprightness.an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
