1	A PRAYER OF DAVID.Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2	From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right!
3	You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4	With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5	My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6	I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.
7	Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.
8	Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,
9	from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me.
10	They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11	They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.
12	He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.
13	Arise, O LORD! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14	from men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.
15	As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

1	Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer- it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2	May my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.
3	Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.
4	As for the deeds of men- by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5	My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6	I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.
7	Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8	Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
9	from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10	They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11	They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12	They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover.
13	Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword.
14	O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
15	And I-in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

1	O LORD, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, for it comes from honest lips.
2	Declare me innocent, for you see those who do right.
3	You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin in what I say.
4	I have followed your commands, which keep me from following cruel and evil people.
5	My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.
6	I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.
7	Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies.
8	Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
9	Protect me from wicked people who attack me, from murderous enemies who surround me.
10	They are without pity. Listen to their boasting!
11	They track me down and surround me, watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.
12	They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart– like young lions hiding in ambush.
13	Arise, O LORD! Stand against them, and bring them to their knees! Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!
14	By the power of your hand, O LORD, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
15	Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied. For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the LORD]. He sang this song to the LORD] on the day the LORD] rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. He sang:

1	Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2	Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
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	Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5	Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6	I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
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	Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9	From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10	They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11	They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12	Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13	Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
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	As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
