Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.
11 Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.
For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!
12 Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.
I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
