[1] Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.
[1] ---
[2] Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
[2] ---
[3] You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
[3] ---
[4] Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
[4] ---
[5] Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
[5] ---
[6] I have called on you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear to me, and hear my speech.
[6] ---
[7] Show your marvelous loving kindness, O you that save by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
[7] ---
[8] Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
[8] ---
[9] From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
[9] ---
[10] They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
[10] ---
[11] They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
[11] ---
[12] Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
[12] ---
[13] Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
[13] ---
[14] From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
[14] ---
[15] As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
