Representative Text

1 Judge my integrity,
The righteous judge Thy art;
Prove me, O Lord, examine me.
And try my inmost heart.

2 Thy mercy and Thy grace
I love to contemplate;
Thy paths of truth my footsteps trace,
And wicked men I hate.

3 Clean hands, O Lord, I raise
As I Thy altars seek,
Where I may sing in grateful praise,
And of Thy wonders speak.

4 O Lord, thy house I love,
Where glory dwells within;
O keep my heart secure above
All fellowship with win.

5 Redeeming love and grace
Bestow, O Lord, on me;
Among Thy saints how blest my place,
Forever praising Thee.

The Psalter: with responsive readings, 1912
