[1]HEAR, O Holy LORD, and consider my supplication; give ear unto my prayer that proceedeth not out of deceitful lips. [2]Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are just. [3]Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and thou hast not found iniquity in me; nothing hath come out of my mouth which is according to the deceitful works of men. [4]Through the conversation of my lips thou hast kept me from evil ways. [5]Thou hast strengthened my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. [6]I have called upon thee, for thou hast heard me. O God, incline thine ear unto me and hear my words. [7]Make thy Holy One a wonder and a Saviour to those who trust; but let him prevail against those that rise up against thy right hand. [8]Keep me as the apple of the eye; protect me under the shadow of thy wings, [9]From the sinners who plunder me, from the enemies of my soul who surround me. [10]Silence their mouth, for they have spoken vanity. [11]They have praised me, and now have surrounded me; they have determined to bury me in the ground. [12]They are like a lion that is eager to prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places. [13]Arise, O LORD, humble them; cast them down; deliver my soul from the wicked and from the sword, [14]From the dead that die by thy hand, O LORD; and from the dead of the grave, divide their possessions among the living; fill their belly with thy treasure, so that their children are satisfied and have a portion remaining for their own children. [15]As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when thy worship is revived.
