1 Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer, which is not out of feigned lips.
1A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear <FI>to<Fi> my prayer, without lips of deceit.
2 Let my judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.
2From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.
3Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent [man].
4As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
5 When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.
5To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, OGod. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
6I--I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
7 Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
7Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
8Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
9 From the wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
9From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
10Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
11 They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.
11`Our steps now have compassed <FI>him<Fi> ;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places.
12His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
13 Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;
13Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in [this] life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their children.
14From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion <FI>is<Fi> in life, And <FI>with<Fi> Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied <FI>with<Fi> sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
