I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also in the nights my reins instruct me.

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart.

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,

For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.

And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.

And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness -- the girdle of his reins.

And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.'

Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near art Thou in their mouth, And far off from their reins.

I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

And, O Jehovah of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance out of them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.

He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.

Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.

Whom I -- I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom.
