Psalms 16:3-9

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.

⁶I have cried, for thou heardest me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken to my words.

⁷Shew the marvels of thy mercies, thou that savest them that hope in thee.

⁸Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist thy right hand: thou shalt screen me by the covering of thy wings,

⁹from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.
