1. Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry!Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2. From your presence let my vindication come!Let your eyes behold the right!
3. You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night,you have tested me, and you will find nothing;I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4. With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lipsI have avoided the ways of the violent.
5. My steps have held fast to your paths;my feet have not slipped.
6. I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.
