| 1. | A Prayer by David. Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips. |
| 2. | Let my sentence come forth from your presence; Let your eyes look on equity. |
| 3. | You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey. |
| 4. | As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent. |
| 5. | My steps have held fast to your paths, My feet have not slipped. |
| 6. | I have called on you, for you will answer me, God: Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech. |
| 7. | Show your marvelous lovingkindness, You who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies. |
| 8. | Keep me as the apple of your eye; Hide me under the shadow of your wings, |
| 9. | From the wicked who oppress me, My deadly enemies, who compass me about. |
| 10. | They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly. |
| 11. | They have now surrounded 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, As it were a young lion lurking in secret places. |
| 13. | Arise, Yahweh, Confront him, cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword; |
| 14. | From men by your hand, Yahweh, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, Whose belly you fill with your treasure: They are satisfied with children, Leave the rest of their substance to their babes. |
| 15. | As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. |
