17 I know, my God, fthat you test the heart and ghave pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you.


tProve me, O Lord, and try me;

test my heart and umy mind.1


10  iI the Lord search the heart

jand test the mind,1

kto give every man according to his ways,

according to the fruit of his deeds.


He will sit nas a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring oofferings in righteousness to the Lord.1
