A Prayer of David. HearH8085 the rightH6664, O JehovahH3068, attendH7181 unto my cryH7440; Give earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth notH3808 out of feignedH4820 lipsH8193. Let my sentenceH4941 come forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440; Let thine eyesH5869 lookH2372 upon equityH4339. Thou hast provedH974 my heartH3820; Thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915; Thou hast triedH6884 me, and findestH4672 nothing; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674. As for the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 me from the waysH734 of the violentH6530. My stepsH838 have held fastH8551 to thy pathsH4570, My feetH6471 have not slippedH4131. I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt answerH6030 me, O GodH410: InclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speechH565. Show thy marvellousH6395 lovingkindnessH2617, O thou that savestH3467 by thy right handH3225 them that take refugeH2620 in thee From those that rise upH6965 against them. KeepH8104 me as the appleH380 of the eyeH1323; HideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671, FromH6440 the wickedH7563 thatH2098 oppressH7703 me, My deadlyH5315 enemiesH341, that compass me aboutH5362. They are inclosedH5462 in their own fatH2459: With their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudlyH1348. They have now compassedH5437 us in our stepsH838; They setH7896 their eyesH5869 to cast us downH5186 to the earthH776. He is likeH1825 a lionH738 that is greedyH3700 of his preyH2963, And as it were a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in secret placesH4565. AriseH6965, O JehovahH3068, ConfrontH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: DeliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563 by thy swordH2719; From menH4962 by thy handH3027, O JehovahH3068, From menH4962 of the worldH2465, whose portionH2506 is in this lifeH2416, And whose bellyH990 thou fillestH4390 with thy treasureH6840: They are satisfiedH7646 with childrenH1121, And leaveH3240 the restH3499 of their substance to their babesH5768. As for me, I shall beholdH2372 thy faceH6440 in righteousnessH6664; I shall be satisfiedH7646, when I awakeH6974, with beholding thy formH8544.
