1 Lord, hear me when I ask you to treat me fairly. Listen to my cry for help. Hear my prayer. It doesn't come from lips that tell lies.
2 When you hand down your sentence, may it be in my favor. May your eyes see what is right.
3 Look deep down into my heart. Study me carefully at night. Put me to the test. You won't find anything wrong. I have made up my mind that my mouth won't say sinful things.
4 I don't do the things other people do. By obeying your word I have kept myself from acting like those who try to hurt others.
5 My steps have stayed on your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6 God, I call out to you because you will answer me. Listen to me. Hear my prayer.
