1. Please judge me, Lord, observe my loyalty;

Observe my trust in you and my integrity.

Examine me, and put me to the test;

My mind and heart refine, that my soul might be blessed.

2. I do not sit with wicked men of lies.

I hate the company of those who truth despise.

Jehovah, please, don’t take away my life

With men who take delight in bribery and strife.

3. For I have loved the dwelling of your house.

Your worship, oh, so pure, I daily will espouse.

And I will march around your altar grand,

To make thanksgiving heard aloud throughout the land.
