Psalm 25

1A Psalm of David.

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

And hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

2Prove me, O Lord, and try me;

Purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

3For thy mercy is before mine eyes:

And I am well pleased with thy truth.

4I have not sat with the council of vanity,

And will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

5I have hated the assembly of wicked doers;

And will not sit with ungodly men.

6I will wash my hands in innocency,

And compass thine altar, O Lord:

7To hear the voice of praise,

And to declare all thy wonderful works.

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

And the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.

9Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly,

Nor my life with bloody men:

10In whose hands are iniquities,

And their right hand is filled with bribes.

11But I have walked in my innocence:

Redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

12My foot stands in an even place:

In the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
