|
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.
