Of David. Vindicate me, O Lord! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. (LXX 25:1; Rahlfs 25:1)
לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי בְּתֻמִּ֣י הָלַ֑כְתִּי וּבַיהוָ֥ה בָּ֝טַ֗חְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶמְעָֽד׃
2Test me, O Lord, and try me; examine my heart and mind. (LXX 25:2; Rahlfs 25:2)
בְּחָנֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה וְנַסֵּ֑נִי צרופה כִלְיוֹתַ֣י וְלִבִּֽי׃
3For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth. (LXX 25:3; Rahlfs 25:3)
כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָ֑י וְ֝הִתְהַלַּ֗כְתִּי בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites. (LXX 25:4; Rahlfs 25:4)
לֹא־יָ֭שַׁבְתִּי עִם־מְתֵי־שָׁ֑וְא וְעִ֥ם נַ֝עֲלָמִ֗ים לֹ֣א אָבֽוֹא׃
5I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked. (LXX 25:5; Rahlfs 25:5)
שָׂ֭נֵאתִי קְהַ֣ל מְרֵעִ֑ים וְעִם־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א אֵשֵֽׁב׃
6I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O Lord, (LXX 25:6; Rahlfs 25:6)
אֶרְחַ֣ץ בְּנִקָּי֣וֹן כַּפָּ֑י וַאֲסֹבְבָ֖ה אֶת־מִזְבַּחֲךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
7to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works. (LXX 25:7; Rahlfs 25:7)
לַ֭שְׁמִעַ בְּק֣וֹל תּוֹדָ֑ה וּ֝לְסַפֵּ֗ר כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
8O Lord, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides. (LXX 25:8; Rahlfs 25:8)
יְֽהוָ֗ה אָ֭הַבְתִּי מְע֣וֹן בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מְק֗וֹם מִשְׁכַּ֥ן כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃
9Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed, (LXX 25:9; Rahlfs 25:9)
אַל־תֶּאֱסֹ֣ף עִם־חַטָּאִ֣ים נַפְשִׁ֑י וְעִם־אַנְשֵׁ֖י דָמִ֣ים חַיָּֽי׃
10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. (LXX 25:10; Rahlfs 25:10)
אֲשֶׁר־בִּידֵיהֶ֥ם זִמָּ֑ה וִֽ֝ימִינָ֗ם מָ֣לְאָה שֹּֽׁחַד׃
11But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me. (LXX 25:11; Rahlfs 25:11)
וַ֭אֲנִי בְּתֻמִּ֥י אֵלֵ֗ךְ פְּדֵ֣נִי וְחָנֵּֽנִי׃
12My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the Lord. (LXX 25:12; Rahlfs 25:12)
רַ֭גְלִי עָֽמְדָ֣ה בְמִישׁ֑וֹר בְּ֝מַקְהֵלִ֗ים אֲבָרֵ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה׃
