A PrayerH8605 of DavidH1732. HearH8085 the rightH6664, O LORDH3068, attendH7181 unto my cryH7440, give earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth notH3808 out of feignedH4820 lipsH8193. {the right: Heb. justice} {not…: Heb. without lips of deceit}
Let my sentenceH4941 come forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440; let thine eyesH5869 beholdH2372 the things that are equalH4339.
Thou hast provedH974 mine heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915; thou hast triedH6884 me, and shalt findH4672 nothing; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674.
Concerning the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 me from the pathsH734 of the destroyerH6530.
Hold upH8551 my goingsH838 in thy pathsH4570, that my footstepsH6471 slipH4131 not. {slip…: Heb. be not moved}
I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt hearH6030 me, O GodH410: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speechH565.
Shew thy marvellousH6395 lovingkindnessH2617, O thou that savestH3467 by thy right handH3225 them which put their trustH2620 in thee from those that rise upH6965 against them. {by thy…: or, them which trust in thee from those that rise up against thy right hand}
KeepH8104 me as the appleH380 of the eyeH1323+H5869, hideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,
FromH6440 the wickedH7563 thatH2098 oppressH7703 me, from my deadlyH5315 enemiesH341, who compass me aboutH5362. {oppress: Heb. waste} {my…: Heb. my enemies against the soul}
They are inclosedH5462 in their own fatH2459: with their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudlyH1348.
They have now compassedH5437 us in our stepsH838: they have setH7896 their eyesH5869 bowing downH5186 to the earthH776;
LikeH1825 as a lionH738 that is greedyH3700 of his preyH2963, and as it were a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in secret placesH4565. {Like…: Heb. The likeness of him (that is, of every one of them) is as a lion that desireth to ravin} {lurking: Heb. sitting}
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, disappointH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, which is thy swordH2719: {disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}
From menH4962 which are thy handH3027, O LORDH3068, from menH4962 of the worldH2465, which have their portionH2506 in this lifeH2416, and whose bellyH990 thou fillestH4390 with thy hidH6840 treasure: they are fullH7646 of childrenH1121, and leaveH3240 the restH3499 of their substance to their babesH5768. {which are: or, by} {they…: or, their children are full}
As for me, I will beholdH2372 thy faceH6440 in righteousnessH6664: I shall be satisfiedH7646, when I awakeH6974, with thy likenessH8544.
