Psalms 25
Judica me, Domine. David’s prayer to God in his distress, to be delivered, that he may come to worship him in his tabernacle.
U nto 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.
