Psalm 17:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Let my vindication issue forth from you;
let your eyes discern what is right.
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.

4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
