David, in this psalm, appeals to God touching his integrity

«Of David.» O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping. By David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.
Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart. Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith. For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men. I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners. I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord; I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh;
That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done. that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory. Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood; Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely. in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me. But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people. My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
