Psalm 17:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Look deep down into my heart.
    Study me carefully at night and test me.
    You won’t find anything wrong.
I have planned nothing evil.
    My mouth has not said sinful things.
⁴ Though evil people tried to pay me to do wrong,
    I have not done what they wanted.
Instead I have done what you commanded.
⁵ My steps have stayed on your paths.
    My feet have not slipped.
