- 1. ¶ HEAR, O Holy LORD, and consider my supplication; give ear unto my prayer that proceedeth not out of deceitful lips.
- 2. Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are just.
- 3. Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and thou hast not found iniquity in me; nothing hath come out of my mouth which is according to the deceitful works of men.
- 4. Through the conversation of my lips thou hast kept me from evil ways.
- 5. Thou hast strengthened my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
- 6. I have called upon thee, for thou hast heard me. O God, incline thine ear unto me and hear my words.
- 7. Make thy Holy One a wonder and a Saviour to those who trust; but let him prevail against those that rise up against thy right hand.
- 8. ¶ Keep me as the apple of the eye; protect me under the shadow of thy wings,
- 9. From the sinners who plunder me, from the enemies of my soul who surround me.
- 10. Silence their mouth, for they have spoken vanity.
- 11. They have praised me, and now have surrounded me; they have determined to bury me in the ground.
- 12. They are like a lion that is eager to prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
- 13. Arise, O LORD, humble them; cast them down; deliver my soul from the wicked and from the sword,
- 14. From the dead that die by thy hand, O LORD; and from the dead of the grave, divide their possessions among the living; fill their belly with thy treasure, so that their children are satisfied and have a portion remaining for their own children.
- 15. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when thy worship is revived.
