O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,

He said, “I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.

When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.

I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand be crippled!

Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.

or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy,

I mourned for them as I would for a friend or my brother. I bowed down in sorrow as if I were mourning for my mother.

When you see a thief, you join him; you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.

whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours.

If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

If I had publicized these thoughts, I would have betrayed your loyal followers.

If his sons reject my law and disobey my regulations,

if they break my rules and do not keep my commandments,

Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive David.

If I say, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Lord, supports me.

So I made a vow in my anger, ‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”

He makes the barren woman of the family a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord!

If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you?
