LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands

Let the LORD judge the peoples. Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.

O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands

The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me. Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God!

O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice

The LORD judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O LORD, for I am innocent, O Most High! End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God.

LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice on my hands

The LORD judges the peoples;  vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity.  Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,  but establish the righteous.  The one who examines the thoughts and emotions  is a righteous God.

O LORD my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands

The LORD shall judge the people: Judge me, O LORD, According to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: For the righteous God Trieth the hearts and reins.

O LORD my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands

The LORD shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

GOD, if I’ve done what they say— betrayed my friends, ripped off my enemies— If my hands are really that dirty, let them get me, walk all over me, leave me flat on my face in the dirt.

Stand up, GOD; pit your holy fury against my furious enemies. Wake up, God. My accusers have packed the courtroom; it’s judgment time. Take your place on the bench, reach for your gavel, throw out the false charges against me. I’m ready, confident in your verdict: “Innocent.” Close the book on Evil, GOD, but publish your mandate for us. You get us ready for life: you probe for our soft spots, you knock off our rough edges. And I’m feeling so fit, so safe: made right, kept right. God in solemn honor does things right, but his nerves are sandpapered raw.

¶O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands

The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me. Please let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God puts hearts and minds to the test.

¶O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands

The LORD judges the peoples; Judge me, O LORD, and grant me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity within me. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You]; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds. [Rev 2:23]

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

The LORD judges the nations. Vindicate me, LORD, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One! May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives!
