Proved

The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked.
He hates the lover of violence.

Test me, Lord, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.

For You, God, tested us;
You refined us as silver is refined.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.Lord, You have searched me and known me.

Yet He knows the way I have taken;
when He has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold.

I will put this third through the fire;
I will 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: Yahweh is our God.”

But who can endure the day of His coming? And who will be able to stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner’s fire and like cleansing lye.

For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. The One who evaluates me is the Lord.

so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Shalt

if I have done harm to one at peace with me
or have plundered my adversary without cause,

All this has happened to us,
but we have not forgotten You
or betrayed Your covenant.

You can see with your own eyes that the Lord handed you over to me today in the cave. Someone advised me to kill you, but I

took pity on you and said: I won’t lift my hand against my lord, since he is the Lord’s anointed.

However, because of the Lord, I will never lift my hand against the Lord’s anointed. Instead, take the spear and the water jug by his head, and let’s go.”

For this is our confidence: The testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with God-given sincerity and purity, not by fleshly wisdom but by God’s grace.

I am

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.I said, “I will guard my ways
so that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle
as long as the wicked are in my presence.”

I have solemnly sworn
to keep Your righteous judgments.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life;
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with a firm resolve of the heart,

for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.

and He considers all his paths.
