2. Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
3. You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
4. Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
5. Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
6. I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
7. Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
8. From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
9. from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
