Vindicating Prayer
Vindicate while judging me,
I walk in my integrity;
My trust is in you as you see,
And in compatibility.
I have put my trust in You Lord,
Without wavering nor to slide;
For remaining in one accord,
And always ensured to abide.
Examine and analyze me,
Testing my heart also my mind;
That I have the humility,
Being a fawner that is kind.
Your steadfast love is before You,
In Your faithfulness as I walk;
Finding my heart and mind are true,
You are my salvation and rock.
I do not sit with vain people,
Nor consort with the hypocrites;
But I worship in your temple,
Because I know the benefits.
I hate all the evildoers,
With the wicked I will not sit;
They are immoral pursuers,
And are not spiritually fit.
