⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence, O LORD, and surround Your altar.

⁷ So that I may declare with the voice of thanksgiving and set forth all Your wondrous works.

⁸ O LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your honor dwells.

⁹ Do not gather my soul with the sinners, nor my life with the bloody men,

¹⁰ in whose hands are wickedness, and their right hands are full of bribes.
