- 1. A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear `to' my prayer, without lips of deceit.
- 2. From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
- 3. Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
- 4. As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
- 5. To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
- 6. I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
- 7. Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
- 8. Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
- 9. From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
- 10. Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
- 11. `Our steps now have compassed `him';' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
- 12. His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
- 13. Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
- 14. From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion `is' in life, And `with' Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied `with' sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
- 15. I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, `with' Thy form!
