Dual PanelThe Prayer of a Good Person
1Declare me innocent, O LORD, because I do what is right and trust you completely.
2Examine me and test me, LORD; judge my desires and thoughts.
3Your constant love is my guide; your faithfulness always leads me.
4I do not keep company with worthless people; I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
5I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked.
6LORD, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent and march in worship around your altar.
7I sing a hymn of thanksgiving and tell of all your wonderful deeds.
8I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers --
10those who do evil all the time and are always ready to take bribes.
11As for me, I do what is right; be merciful to me and save me!
12I am safe from all dangers; in the assembly of his people I praise the LORD.
