I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, that are present here, offer willingly unto thee.
O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is (tried) by his praise.
I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
