Hear the right , O LORD , attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah , righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear `to' my prayer, without lips of deceit .
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence ; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal .
From before thee my judgment doth go out ; Thine eyes do see uprightly .
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 .
Thou hast proved my heart , Thou hast inspected by night , Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth .
Concerning the works of men , by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer .
As to doings of man , Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer ;
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden .
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God : incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God , incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
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 .
Separate wonderfully Thy kindness , O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand , from withstanders .
Keep me as the apple of the eye , hide me under the shadow of thy wings ,
Keep me as the apple , the daughter of the eye ; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
From the wicked that oppress me , from my deadly enemies , who compass me about .
From the face of the wicked who spoiled me . Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
They are inclosed in their own fat : with their mouth they speak proudly.
Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
They have now compassed us in our steps : they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
` Our steps now have compassed `him';' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey , and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
His likeness as a lion desirous to tear , As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
Arise, O LORD , disappoint him , cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword :
Arise, O Jehovah , go before his face , Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword ,
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 .
From men , Thy hand, O Jehovah , From men of the world, their portion `is' in life, And ` with ' Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied `with' sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings .
As for me , I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake , with thy likeness.
I -- in righteousness , I see Thy face ; I am satisfied, in awaking , ` with ' Thy form!
