When you probe my heart,
    and examine me at night;
when you refine me,
    you will find nothing wrong,[a]
        for I have determined that I will not transgress with my mouth.

Because my steps have held fast to your paths,
    my footsteps have not faltered.

    my feet have not stumbled.(F)
