You are a righteous God and judge our thoughts and desires. Stop the wickedness of evildoers and reward those who are good.

You know my heart. You have come to me at night; you have examined me completely and found no evil desire in me. I speak no evil,

You have put us to the test, God; as silver is purified by fire, so you have tested us.

Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover my thoughts.

Find out if there is any evil in me and guide me in the everlasting way.

What are my sins? What wrongs have I done? What crimes am I charged with?

God knows everything I do; he sees every step I take.

Let God weigh me on honest scales, and he will see how innocent I am.

But, Almighty LORD, you test people justly; you know what is in their hearts and minds. So let me see you take revenge on my enemies, for I have placed my cause in your hands.

And I will test the third that survives and will purify them as silver is purified by fire. I will test them as gold is tested. Then they will pray to me, and I will answer them. I will tell them that they are my people, and they will confess that I am their God."
