Psalms 17:1-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Hear a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.

2. Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity.

3. You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

4. As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.

5. My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
