Proved

Yahweh tests [the] righteous, but [the] wicked and [the] lover of violence his soul hates.

Prove me, O Yahweh, and test me. Try my {innermost being} and my {mind}.

For you have tested us, O God; you have tried us as silver is tried.

O Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know [me].

But he knows {the way that I take}; he tests me--I shall come out like gold.

And I will bring the [remaining] third into the fire, and I will refine them like [one] refines silver, and I will test them like [one] tests gold. They will call my name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'Yahweh [is] my God.'"

And who [can] endure the day of his coming? And who [is] the one who can stand {when he appears}? For he [is] like a refiner's fire, like launderers' alkali.

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but not by this am I vindicated. But the one who judges me is the Lord.

so that the genuineness of your faith, more valuable than gold that is passing away, but is tested by fire, may be found to [result in] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Shalt

if I have repaid {my ally} [with] harm, or [if] I have plundered my enemy without cause,

All this has befallen us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.

Look, this day your eyes have seen that Yahweh gave you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you. But {I took pity} on you and said, 'I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, because he [is] Yahweh's anointed one.'

{Yahweh forbid me} from stretching out my hand against Yahweh's anointed one! So then, please take the spear that [is] near his head and the jar of water, and let us go."

For our reason for boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, in holiness and purity of motive from God, not in merely human wisdom, but by the grace of God.

I am

I said, "I will guard my ways {that I may not sin} with my tongue. I will keep a muzzle over my mouth as long as [the] wicked [are] before me."

I have sworn [an oath] and confirmed [it], to heed {your righteous ordinances}.

He who keeps his mouth guards his life; he who opens his lips, ruin [belongs] to him.

who, [when he] arrived and saw the grace of God, rejoiced and encouraged [them] all to remain true to the Lord with {devoted hearts},

For we all stumble [in] many [ways]. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he [is] a perfect individual, able to hold in check his whole body also.
