1 Prière de David. Éternel! Écoute la droiture, sois attentif à mes cris, Prête l’oreille à ma prière faite avec des lèvres sans tromperie!

2 Que ma justice paraisse devant ta face, Que tes yeux contemplent mon intégrité!

3 Si tu sondes mon cœur, si tu le visites la nuit, Si tu m’éprouves, tu ne trouveras rien: Ma pensée n’est pas autre que ce qui sort de ma bouche.
