A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right! You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

Lord, I acknowledged that my walk before You must include a constant examination of all my motives and plans both before initiation and during all my actions. However, I am totally incapable of making such a transformation on my own. I need the guidance of the Spirit, the strength and power of the Spirit. Help me, Lord.
