Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my heart and my mind.

I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.

“I know every bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is Mine.

Their eye bulges from fatness [they have more than the heart desires];
The imaginations of their mind run riot [with foolishness].

He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence];
He will remember His covenant forever.

Their heart is insensitive like fat [their minds are dull and brutal],
But I delight in Your law.

Samekh.
I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love and treasure Your law.
