3 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.
4 As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths, My feet have not slipped.
6 I have called on you, for you will answer me, God: Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous lovingkindness, You who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 From the wicked who oppress me, My deadly enemies, who compass me about.
