Do you live your life in such a way that you call on God to test you? This verse terrifies me. I say, "don't test me God," because I would fail. I seek to walk continually, but I stumble, trip, and stop. I seek to do the right things, but find my efforts often go against me. And though I cannot stand before God a perfect man, I can stand before him a broken one in need of him. To stand righteous before God is to stand honest before God. Don't try to hide, don't deny, and don't pretend you're someone you're not. God meets you where you are. So why even ask God to test you? Just show up and be in God's company. That passes the test.
