If I have walked in falsehood
or my foot has rushed to deceit,
let God weigh me on accurate scales,(A)
and he will recognize my integrity.(B)

If my step has turned from the way,
my heart has followed my eyes,
or impurity has stained my hands,(C)
let someone else eat what I have sown,
and let my crops be uprooted.(D)

“If I have (A)walked with deception,
And my foot has hurried after deceit,
Let Him (B)weigh me with [a]accurate scales,
And let God know (C)my integrity.
If my step has (D)turned from the way,
Or my heart [b]followed my eyes,
Or if any (E)spot has stuck to my hands,
Let me (F)sow and another eat,
And let my [c](G)crops be uprooted.
