1 A prayer of David.Hear, Lord, my plea for justice;pay heed to my cry;Listen to my prayerfrom lips without guile.
2 From you let my vindication come;your eyes see what is right.
3 You have tested my heart,searched it in the night.You have tried me by fire,but find no malice in me.My mouth has not transgressed
4 as others often do.As your lips have instructed me,I have kept from the way of the lawless.
5 My steps have kept to your paths;my feet have not faltered.
6 I call upon you; answer me, O God.Turn your ear to me; hear my speech.
7 Show your wonderful mercy,you who deliver with your right armthose who seek refuge from their foes.
