Psalms 17:4

Hear My Righteous Plea

3You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth. 4As for the deeds of men— by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. 5My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
