David pleads with God to judge him based on his integrity and faithfulness. He asks God to examine his heart, claiming he has trusted the Lord, avoided the wicked, and loved being in God’s presence. David expresses his desire to be set apart from evildoers and reaffirms his commitment to walk in righteousness, trusting God for redemption and grace. It’s a bold prayer for vindication rooted in personal holiness and loyalty to God.
