1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
-
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
-
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
-
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
-
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
-
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
-
7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their 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 oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
-
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
-
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
-
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
-
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
-
14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
-
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

- 1 Hear a just cause, O LORD, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
- 2 Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity.
- 3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
- 4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.
- 5 My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
- 6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
- 7 Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.
- 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
- 9 From the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies who surround me.
- 10 They have closed their unfeeling heart, With their mouth they speak proudly.
- 11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.
- 12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.
- 13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,
- 14 From men with Your hand, O LORD, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes.
- 15 As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.
