Psalm 17:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 Only you can say
    that I am innocent,
because only your eyes
    can see the truth.

3 You know my heart,
    and even during the night
you have tested me
    and found me innocent.
I have made up my mind
    never to tell a lie.
4 I don't do like others.
I obey your teachings
    and am not cruel.

King James Version

2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
