Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

WEB

Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

YLT

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart.

F.O.G

(2) Prove me, YAHWEH and test me, Refine my kidneys (inner man) and my heart.

F.O.G MSG

²Test me, Yahweh, and examine my heart;ᵃ
refine my thoughts and motives like silver in fire.

²ᵃ Examine my heart: The Hebrew word refers to testing the inner being—emotions, will, and moral character—like a metalsmith testing precious metals for purity.

We stand in agreement with the prophet Malachi over you:

“Test Me now in this,” says יהוה Yahweh Tzva’ot, “if I won’t open the windows of the skies for you, to pour out a blessing on you, until there’s no more room!“

Malachi 3:10

What is the Open-Source Bible Trilogy?

The F.O.G Bible Project began with creating a new Lexicon to power a new Bible. But it quickly became apparent that one translation wouldn’t do as both a formal equivalence Study Bible, a Reader’s Bible and even a Kids version of the whole Bible was needed to highlight all the nuances of the text. So the trilogy was born, which is based on open-source principles by allowing other scholars to publicly peer review the source material for the benefit of all to see. This project is also the first to encourage non-academics to try translating their favorite verses using a simple system anyone can learn to provide even more possible avenues of inspiration that may get incorporated into the official text.
