1 - A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear <FI>to<Fi> my prayer, without lips of deceit.

2 - From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.

3 - Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

4 - As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

5 - To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.

6 - I--I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

7 - Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

8 - Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.

9 - From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

10 - Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:

11 - `Our steps now have compassed <FI>him<Fi> ;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

12 - His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.

13 - Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,

14 - From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion <FI>is<Fi> in life, And <FI>with<Fi> Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied <FI>with<Fi> sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

15 - I--in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, <FI>with<Fi> Thy form!
