^3 (A)But you, O Lord, know me;
    ^(B)you see me, and test my heart towards you.
^(C)Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
    and set them apart for ^(D)the day of slaughter.

⁹ Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
    and may you establish the righteous—
you who ^(A)test ^(B)the minds and hearts,^[a]
    O righteous God!

³ You have ^(A)tried my heart, you have ^(B)visited me by ^(C)night,
    you have ^(D)tested me, and you will find nothing;
    I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

^21 (A)would not God discover this?
    ^(B)For he knows the secrets of the heart.
