Psalm 17:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 You have probed my heart[a]
and examined me throughout the night.
You have tested me
and found no malice in me,
for I have not sinned with my mouth.
4 Despite what other people do,
I have been guided by the word of your lips[b]
and refrained from their acts of violence.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths;
my feet have not wavered.
