[A prayer of David.] LORD, consider my just cause! Pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to the prayer I sincerely offer! |
2
|
Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right! |
3
|
You have scrutinized my inner motives; you have examined me during the night. You have carefully evaluated me, but you find no sin. I am determined I will say nothing sinful. |
4
|
As for the actions of people— just as you have commanded, I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men. |
5
|
I carefully obey your commands; I do not deviate from them. |
6
|
I call to you for you will answer me, O God. Listen to me! Hear what I say! |
7
|
Accomplish awesome, faithful deeds, you who powerfully deliver those who look to you for protection from their enemies. |
8
|
Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings! |
9
|
Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill. |
10
|
They are calloused; they speak arrogantly. |
11
|
They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground. |
12
|
He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places. |
13
|
Rise up, LORD! Confront him! Knock him down! Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man! |
14
|
LORD, use your power to deliver me from these murderers, from the murderers of this world! They enjoy prosperity; you overwhelm them with the riches they desire. They have many children, and leave their wealth to their offspring. |
15
|
As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face; when I awake you will reveal yourself to me. |
