Psalms 17:1-5

¹A Prayer. Of David. Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.

²Be my judge; for your eyes see what is right.

³You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.

⁴As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

⁵I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.
