A Prayer of David.
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.
