Examine me, O יהוה, and prove me; Try my kidneys and my heart.
How many are my crookednesses and sins? Let me know my transgression and my sin.
You have examined my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me – You find I have not schemed; My mouth would not transgress.
For You, O Elohim, have proved us; You have refined us as silver is refined.
Please let the evil of the wrong be ended, And establish the righteous; For the righteous Elohim is a trier of hearts and kidneys.
But, O יהוה of hosts, trying the righteous, and seeing the kidneys and heart, let me see Your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to You.
“And I shall bring the third into fire, and refine them as silver is refined, and try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My Name, and I shall answer them. I shall say, ‘This is My people,’ while they say, ‘יהוה is my Elohim.’ ”
