3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them, by thy right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that spoil me, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
