¹ A Prayer of David 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 look upon equity

³ Thou hast proved mine heart; Thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, And findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress

⁴ As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent

⁵ My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped

⁶ I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech

⁷ Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them, by thy right hand

⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁹ From the wicked that spoil me, my deadly enemies, That compass me about

¹⁰ They are enclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly

¹¹ They have now compassed us in our steps: They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth

¹² He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places

¹³ Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

¹⁴ From men, by thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, Whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes

¹⁵ As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
