Lyrics
Verse 1:
Vindicate me, Lord, for I have led a blameless life;
I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.
Test me, Lord, and try me,
Examine my heart and my mind;
For I have always been mindful of Your unfailing love
And have lived in reliance on Your faithfulness.
Chorus:
I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
I abhor the assembly of evildoers
And refuse to sit with the wicked.
Verse 2:
I wash my hands in innocence,
And go about Your altar, Lord, proclaiming aloud Your praise
and telling of all Your wonderful deeds.
Bridge:
Lord, I love the house where You live,
the place where Your glory dwells.
Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
y life with those who are bloodthirsty,
in whose hands are wicked schemes,
whose right hands are full of bribes.
**Chorus **
I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.
