Psalm 25

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life
I have trusted in the LORD without wavering

Test me, O LORD, and try me
Examine my heart and my mind

For your love is ever before me
And I walk continually in your truth

I do not sit with deceitful men
Nor do I consort with hypocrites

I abhor the assembly of evildoers
And refuse to sit with the wicked

I wash my hands in innocence
And go about your altar, O LORD

Proclaiming aloud your praise
And telling of all your wonderful deeds

I love the house where you live
O LORD, the place where your glory dwells

Do not take away my soul along with sinners
My life with bloodthirsty men

In whose hands are wicked schemes
Whose right hands are full of bribes

But I lead a blameless life
Redeem me and be merciful to me

My feet stand on level ground
In the great assembly
I will praise the LORD. Alleluia
