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!
7 Manifest your faithful love in amazing waysbecause you are the onewho saves those who take refuge in you,saving them from their attackersby your strong hand.
8 Watch me with the very pupil of your eye!Hide me in the protection of your wings,
9 away from the wickedwho are out to get me,away from my deadly enemieswho are all around me!
