1 Listen to what’s right, Lord;pay attention to my cry!Listen closely to my prayer;it’s spoken by lips that don’t lie!
2 My justice comes from you;let your eyes see what is right!
3 You have examined my heart,testing me at night.You’ve looked me over closely,but haven’t found anything wrong.My mouth doesn’t sin.
4 But these other people’s deeds?I have avoided such violent waysby the command from your lips.
5 My steps are set firmly on your paths;my feet haven’t slipped.
6 I cry out to you because you answer me.So tilt your ears toward me now—listen to what I’m saying!
