I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

1
Hear, LORD, my righteous plea.
Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
2
Let my sentence come out of your presence.
Let your eyes look on equity.

You have proved my heart.
You have visited me in the night.
You have tried me, and found nothing.
I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

My feet have not slipped.
