Proved

The Lord

tests the righteous and the wicked,

And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

Examine me, O Lord, and try me;

Test my mind and my heart.

For You have tried us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

“But He knows the way I take;
When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

“And I will bring the third part through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap.

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

so that the

proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Shalt

If I have rewarded evil to my friend,
Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,

All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You,
And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.

Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’

The Lord forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let us go.”

For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

I am

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
I said, “I will guard my ways
That I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle
While the wicked are in my presence.”

I have sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.

The one who guards his mouth preserves his life;
The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Then when he arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord;

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
