1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just;listen to my cry.Hear my prayer –it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from you;may your eyes see what is right.
3 Though you probe my heart,though you examine me at night and test me,you will find that I have planned no evil;my mouth has not transgressed.
4 Though people tried to bribe me,I have kept myself from the ways of the violentthrough what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;my feet have not stumbled.
