Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] You shall direct the righteous, O God that searches the hearts and minds.

You has tested my heart; You have visited [me] in the night; You have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me; [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss.]

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my mind and my heart.

For the end, A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have proved me, and known me.

Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;

and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.

And it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Behold! I am here.

And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon My name, and I will hear them, and say, This is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; because when he is approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love Him.

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Beloved, do not be surprised by the fiery trial among you, taking place to test you, as though some strange thing [was] happening to you;

For You are not a God that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with You.

Neither shall the transgressors continue in Your sight. You hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.

Let Your hand be found by all Your enemies; let Your right hand find all that hate You.

For he rejoices in all things which God hates, and he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul.

a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil, [are hateful to God].

My inheritance has become to Me as a lion in a forest; she has uttered her voice against Me; therefore have I hated her.

And I will cut off three shepherds in one month, and My soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against Me.
