¹⁰ But he ^(A)knows ^(B)the way that I ^(C)take;
    when he has ^(D)tried me, I shall come out as gold.

39 I said, “I will ^(B)guard my ways,
    that I ^(C)may not sin with my tongue;
I will ^(D)guard my mouth with a muzzle,
    so long as the wicked are in my presence.”

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

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.’”

^3 (A)Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life;
    ^(B)he who opens wide his lips ^(C)comes to ruin.
