^2 (A)Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
    test my heart and ^(B)my mind.^[a]

⁶ (Let me be ^(A)weighed in a just balance,
    and let God know my integrity!)

^3 (A)The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
    ^(B)and the Lord tests hearts.

139 O Lord, you have ^(A)searched me and known me!

²⁰ But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
    who ^(A)tests ^(B)the heart and the mind,
^(C)let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.

⁹ And ^(A)I will put this third into the fire,
    and refine them as one refines silver,
    and test them as gold is tested.
^(B)They will call upon my name,
    and ^(C)I will answer them.
^(D)I will say, ‘They are my people’;
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
