- 1. {A Prayer of David.}<br>
Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer, which is not out of feigned lips. - 2. Let my judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.
- 3. Thou hast proved my heart, thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.
- 4. Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent [man].
- 5. When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.
- 6. I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, O �God. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
- 7. Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
- 8. Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
- 9. From the wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
- 10. They are enclosed in their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
- 11. They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.
- 12. He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places.
- 13. Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;
- 14. From men [who are] thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in [this] life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their children.
- 15. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
