Psalms 17:1

PrayerJusticeIntegrity
Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer— it comes from lips free of deceit.

2 May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
