[1] Heare thou O God of iustice, be attentiue vnto my complaynt: geue eare vnto my prayer, not [proceeding] out of fayned lyppes [1]Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
[2]Let iudgement come foorth for me from thy face: and let thine eyes loke vpon equitie [2]Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
[3]Thou hast proued myne heart, thou hast visited [it] in the nyght season: thou hast tryed me, and founde no [wickednesse, for] I purposed that nothyng shoulde scape my mouth [3]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.
[4]As touchyng [other] mens workes: through the wordes of thy lyppes I haue kept me from the way of the violent [4]Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
[5]O holde thou vp my goynges in thy pathes: that my footesteppes slyp not [5]Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
[6]I call vpon thee O God, for thou wilt heare me: incline thine eare to me, hearken vnto my wordes [6]I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
[7]Shewe thy marueylous louyng kindnesse: thou that art the sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as ryse vp agaynst thy ryght hande [7]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.
[8]Kepe me as the apple of an eye, hyde me vnder the shadowe of thy wynges: from the face of the vngodly that go about to destroy me, [from] myne enemies that compasse me rounde about to take away my soule [8]Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
[9]They haue inclosed [them selues] in their owne fat: with their mouth they speake proude thynges [9]From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
[10]They haue nowe compassed me on euery syde [where] our way [lyeth]: they toote with their eyes to ouerthrow [me] downe on the grounde [10]They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
[11]His [doynges] be lyke a lions that is greedy to take a pray: and as a lions whelpe lurkyng in secrete places [11]They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
[12]Aryse O God, preuent his commyng, make hym to bowe: delyuer thou my soule from the vngodly [which is] thy sworde [12]Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
[13][Deliuer thou] me O God from men [which be] thy hande: from men, from the worlde, whose portion [is] in this lyfe, whose bellyes thou fyllest with thy priuie [treasure] [13]Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
[14]Whose children haue aboundaunce: & they leaue enough of that they haue remaynyng to their babes [14]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.
[15]But as for me, I will beholde thy face in ryghteousnesse: I shalbe satisfied when I awake vp after thy lykenesse [15]As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
