Be thou my Judge, O LORD, for I have | walked innocently:

* my trust hath been also in the LORD, | therefore •shall I• not fall.

2 Examine me, O | LORD, and prove me;

* try out my | reins and my heart.

3 For thy loving-kindness is ever be- | -fore mine eyes;

* and I will | walk in thy truth.

4 I have not dwelt with | vain persons;

* neither will I have fellowship | with the deceitful.

5 I have hated the congregation | of the wicked;

* and will not | sit among •the un•godly.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, | O LORD;

* and so will I | go to thine altar;

7 That I may show the voice of | thanksgiving,

* and tell of | all thy wondrous works.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation | of thy house,

* and the place | where thine honour dwelleth.

9 O shut not up my soul | with the sinners,

* nor my life | with the blood-thirsty;

10 In whose | hands is wickedness,

* and their right | hand is full of gifts.

11 But as for me, I will | walk innocently:

* O deliver me, and be | merci•ful unto me.

12 My foot | standeth right:

* I will praise the LORD | in the congregations.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
