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.
