Psalm 16:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.

2. Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.

3. You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.

4. Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.

5. Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.

6. I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
