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 violent through what your lips have commanded.
5. My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.
