1 A prayer of David. Hear, Adonai, a just plea, listen to my cry! Give ear to my prayer— from lips with no deceit.
2 From Your presence comes my vindication. Your eyes see what is right.
3 You have examined my heart. You searched me at night. Though You test me, You find nothing. I resolved that my mouth will not sin.
4 As for the deeds of mankind— by the word of Your lips I have kept out of the ways of the violent.
