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!

2  ^tProve me, O Lord, and try me;

test my heart and ^umy mind.¹

4  ^rGive to them according to their work

and according to the evil of their deeds;

give to them according to the work of their hands;

^srender them their due reward.
