Psa 17:2(LXX 16:2) Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.

Psa 17:3

Psa 17:3(LXX 16:3) Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: I am purposed that my mouth shall not speak amiss.

Psa 17:14

Psa 17:14(LXX 16:14) because of the enemies of thine hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with thy hidden treasures: they have been satisfied with [fn]uncleanness, and have left the remnant of their possessions to their babes.
