⁹ Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
    and may you establish the righteous—
you who ^(A)test ^(B)the minds and hearts,^[a]
    O righteous God!

⁵ The Lord ^(A)tests the righteous,
    but ^(B)his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

^2 (A)Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
    test my heart and ^(B)my mind.^[a]

^3 (A)The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
    ^(B)and the Lord tests hearts.
