A PRAYER OF DAVID.Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! |
2
|
From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right! |
3
|
You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. |
4
|
With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. |
5
|
My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped. |
6
|
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words. |
7
|
Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand. |
8
|
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, |
9
|
from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me. |
10
|
They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly. |
11
|
They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground. |
12
|
He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush. |
13
|
Arise, O LORD! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, |
14
|
from men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants. |
15
|
As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness. |
