By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

2 Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

9 Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

11 Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
