[1] HEAR the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
[1] ---
[2] Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
[2] ---
[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.
[3] ---
[4] Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
[4] ---
[5] Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
[5] ---
[6] I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
[6] ---
[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.
[7] ---
[8] Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
[8] ---
[9] From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
[9] ---
[10] They are inclosed 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 thy sword:
[13] ---
[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.
[14] ---
[15] As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
