2 Let my vindication come from your presence; let your eyes see what is right!

3 If you test my heart, if you come to me in the night, you will purify me and will not find any evil plans; my mouth will not transgress.
You have tested heart my - you have visited night you have tested me not you will find I have resolved not it will transgress mouth my.
4 As for the deeds of mankind, it is at the word of your lips that I have kept myself from the ways of the lawless.
To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].
5 My steps have held firmly to your tracks; my feet have not slipped.

From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.
10 They have no mercy on anyone; their mouths speak with pride.
Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.
11 They have surrounded my steps. They set their eyes to strike me to the ground.
