But you, whenever you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

so that you do not appear to men [to be] fasting, but to your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

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.]

for He knows the secrets of the heart.

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

You have traced my path and my bed, and have foreseen all my ways.

I, the Lord, search the hearts, and test the mind, to give to everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his doings.

Shall anyone hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord.

And there is no creature hidden before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes, to whom we must give an account.

"And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.'

Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before Me forever: but now the Lord says, Far be it from Me; for I will only honor them that honor Me, and he that despises Me shall be despised.

For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest, nor anything concealed which will not be known and come to light.

and you will be blessed, because they do not have [anything] to repay you; for it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the just."

So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make clear the purposes of the hearts. Then each one's praise shall come from God.

Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to make you stand before His glory, blameless with exultation,
