|
1. A Prayer H8605 of David H1732 . Hear H8085 the right H6664 , O LORD H3068 attend H7181 unto my cry H7440 , give ear H238 unto my prayer H8605 , that goeth not H3808 out of feigned H4820 lips H8193 .
|
|
2. Let my vindication come from You, for You see what is right.
|
2. Let my sentence H4941 come forth H3318 from thy presence H4480 H6440 ; let thine eyes H5869 behold H2372 the things that are equal H4339 .
|
|
3. You have tested my heart; You have visited by night; You have tried me and found nothing evil; I have determined that my mouth will not sin.
|
3. Thou hast proved H974 mine heart H3820 ; thou hast visited H6485 me in the night H3915 ; thou hast tried H6884 me, and shalt find H4672 nothing H1077 ; I am purposed H2161 that my mouth H6310 shall not H1077 transgress H5674 .
|
|
4. Concerning what people do: by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
|
4. Concerning the works H6468 of men H120 , by the word H1697 of thy lips H8193 I H589 have kept H8104 me from the paths H734 of the destroyer H6530 .
|
|
5. My steps are on Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
|
5. Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths H4570 , that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not H1077 .
|
|
6. I call on You, God, because You will answer me; listen closely to me; hear what I say.
|
6. I H589 have called upon H7121 thee, for H3588 thou wilt hear H6030 me , O God H410 : incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto me , and hear H8085 my speech H565 .
|
|
7. Display the wonders of Your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel against Your right hand.
|
7. Show thy marvelous lovingkindness H6395 H2617 , O thou that savest H3467 by thy right hand H3225 them which put their trust H2620 in thee from those that rise up H4480 H6965 against them .

9. from the wicked who treat me violently, my deadly enemies who surround me.
|
9. From H4480 H6440 the wicked H7563 that H2098 oppress H7703 me, from my deadly H5315 enemies H341 , who compass me about H5362 H5921 .
|
|
10. They have become hardened; their mouths speak arrogantly.
|
10. They are enclosed in H5462 their own fat H2459 : with their mouth H6310 they speak H1696 proudly H1348 .
|
|
11. They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw me to the ground.
|
11. They have now H6258 compassed H5437 us in our steps H838 : they have set H7896 their eyes H5869 bowing down H5186 to the earth H776 ;
|
|
12. They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
|
12. Like H1825 as a lion H738 that is greedy H3700 of his prey H2963 , and as it were a young lion H3715 lurking H3427 in secret places H4565 .
|
|
13. Rise up, LORD! Confront him; bring him down. With Your sword, save me from the wicked.
|
13. Arise H6965 , O LORD H3068 , disappoint H6923 H6440 him , cast him down H3766 : deliver H6403 my soul H5315 from the wicked H4480 H7563 , which is thy sword H2719 :
|
|
14. With Your hand, LORD, save me from men, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store, their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.
|
14. From men H4480 H4962 which are thy hand H3027 , O LORD H3068 , from men H4480 H4962 of the world H4480 H2465 , which have their portion H2506 in this life H2416 , and whose belly H990 thou fillest H4390 with thy hid H6845 treasure : they are full H7646 of children H1121 , and leave H5117 the rest H3499 of their substance to their babes H5768 .
|
|
15. But I will see Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence.
|
15. As for me H589 , I will behold H2372 thy face H6440 in righteousness H6664 : I shall be satisfied H7646 , when I awake H6974 , with thy likeness H8544 .
