Examine me, LORD, and inspect me! Test my heart and mind.

But the LORD's counsel stands firm forever, the plans in his mind for all generations.

Beautifully situated, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion towards the north, the city of the great King.

Mount Zion will be glad; the towns of Judah will rejoice because of your judgments.

Examine me, God, and know my mind, test me, and know my thoughts.

As a result, my spirit is desolate within me, and my mind within me is appalled.
