3 My heart thou many ways hast prov'd And visited in [waking] night; Thou hast try'd me, and nothing found [I hope] but what's in men upright. To keep my mouth, left it transgress, My [watchful] soul resolved hath;
4 Thy word kept me from bad mens works, And the destroyers [hurtful] path.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, Left that my [sliding] foot offend.
6 I called on thee, for thou wilt hear; [O God] to my request attend.
