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