| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3When you probe my heart, and examine me at night; when you refine me, you will find nothing wrong, for I have determined that I will not transgress with my mouth. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4As for the ways of mankind, I have, according to the words of your lips, avoided the ways of the violent. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Because my steps have held fast to your paths, my footsteps have not faltered. |

| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14from men, LORD, by your hand— from men who belong to this world, whose reward is only in this life. But as for your treasured ones, may their stomachs be full, may their children have an abundance, and may they leave wealth to their offspring. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But as for me, justified, I will behold your face; when I awake, your presence will satisfy me. |
