And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

I know also, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness and integrity. In the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. So now with joy I have seen Your people who are present here, make their offerings willingly and freely to You.
Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my heart and my mind.
