1: 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.
