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