- For thou, O God, hast proved us:
thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. - As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. - But he knoweth the way that I take:
when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held his steps,
his way have I kept, and not declined. - As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. - Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
- Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
- With my whole heart have I sought thee:
O let me not wander from thy commandments. - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us.
