1 Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry!Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2 From your presence let my vindication come!Let your eyes behold the right!
3 You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night,you have tested me, and you will find nothing;I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lipsI have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths;my feet have not slipped.
6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.
