0A prayer of David.

1Hear, O Yahweh, a just cause; attend to my cry; give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit.

2May my vindication come from before you; may your eyes behold what is right.

3You have examined my heart; you have visited me by night; you have tested me and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth will not transgress.
