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
behold
the
things
that
are
equal.
3
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.
4
Concerning
the
works
of
men,
by
the
word
of
thy
lips
I
have
kept
[me
from]
the
paths
of
the
destroyer.
5
Hold
up
my
goings
in
thy
paths,
[that]
my
footsteps
slip
not.
6
I
have
called
upon
thee,
for
thou
wilt
hear
me,
O
God:
incline
thine
ear
unto
me,
[and
hear]
my
speech.
7
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].
8
Keep
me
as
the
apple
of
the
eye,
hide
me
under
the
shadow
of
thy
wings,
9
From
the
wicked
that
oppress
me,
[from]
my
deadly
enemies,
[who]
compass
me
about.
10
They
are
inclosed
in
their
own
fat:
with
their
mouth
they
speak
proudly.
11
They
have
now
compassed
us
in
our
steps:
they
have
set
their
eyes
bowing
down
to
the
earth;
12
Like
as
a
lion
[that]
is
greedy
of
his
prey,
and
as
it
were
a
young
lion
lurking
in
secret
places.
13
Arise,
O
LORD,
disappoint
him,
cast
him
down:
deliver
my
soul
from
the
wicked,
[which
is]
thy
sword:
14
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.
15
As
for
me,
I
will
behold
thy
face
in
righteousness:
I
shall
be
satisfied,
when
I
awake,
with
thy
likeness.
