10  ⁱ“I 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.”

12  O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,

^lwho sees the heart and the mind,¹

let me see your vengeance upon them,

for to you have I committed my cause.

9  Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,

and may you establish the righteous—

you who ^atest ^bthe minds and hearts,¹

O righteous God!
