A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#43

43. Judge me, O Lord; with upright Heart

1. Judge me, O Lord; with upright Heart
I've walk'd, and still abide:
My Trust I've placed in the Lord,
And will not turn aside.
2. Search me, O God, my Reins, and Heart,
Try, and make thorow Proof.
3. I've set thy Grace before mine Eyes,
And walked in thy Truth.

4. I have not with vain Persons sat;
Nor with Dissemblers gone.
5. I hate the Crowds that practice Ill;
The Wicked's Presence shun.
6. In Innocence I'll wash my Hands;
And to thy Courts repair:
7. That I may all thy wondrous Works,
With thankful Voice declare.

8. To visit, Lord, thy sacred House,
Has been my great Delight;
That holy Tabernacle, where
Thy Glory shines so bright.
9. With Sinners let me not be join'd,
Nor with the bloody Tribes;
10. Whose Hands in Mischief are employ'd,
Their Right-Hand's full of Bribes.

11. For I will walk in Righteousness;
In Mercy, me redeem.
12. My Foot stands right; among thy Saints,
Thy Praise shall be my Theme.
