Psalms 16:1-5

¹A Prayer of David. Hearken, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not uttered with deceitful lips.

²Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.

³Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: I am purposed that my mouth shall not speak amiss.

⁴As for the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have guarded myself from hard ways.

⁵Direct my steps in thy paths, that my steps slip not.
