Psalms 25

¹Unto 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. ²Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart. ³For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth. ⁴I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things. ⁵I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit. ⁶I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord: ⁷That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works. ⁸I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth. ⁹Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men: ¹⁰In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts. ¹¹But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me. ¹²My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
