1 A David psalm

Clear my name, God;

I've kept an honest shop.

I've thrown in my lot with you, God, and

I'm not budging.

2 Examine me, God, from head to foot,

order your battery of tests.

Make sure I'm fit

inside and out

3 So I never lose

sight of your love,

But keep in step with you,

never missing a beat.

4 I don't hang out with tricksters,

I don't pal around with thugs;

5 I hate that pack of gangsters,

I don't deal with double-dealers.

6 I scrub my hands with purest soap,

then join hands with the others in the great circle,

dancing around your altar, God,

7 Singing God-songs at the top of my lungs,

telling God-stories.

8 God, I love living with you;

your house glows with your glory.

9 When it's time for spring cleaning,

don't sweep me out with the quacks and crooks,

10 Men with bags of dirty tricks,

women with purses stuffed with bribe-money.

11 You know I've been aboveboard with you;

now be aboveboard with me.

12 I'm on the level with you, God;

I bless you every chance I get.
