Hear a ajust
cause
, O LORD
, bgive
heed
to my cry
; cGive
ear
to my prayer
, which is not from ddeceitful
lips
.
Let amy 1judgment come
forth
from Your presence
; Let Your eyes
look
with bequity
.
You have atried my heart
; You have visited
me by night
; You have btested
me and cYou find
1nothing
; I have dpurposed
that my mouth
will not transgress
.
As for the deeds of men
, aby the word
of Your lips
I have kept
from the bpaths
of the violent
.
My asteps have held
fast
to Your 1paths
. My bfeet
have not slipped
.
I have acalled upon You, for You will answer
me, O God
; bIncline
Your ear
to me, hear
my speech
.
aWondrously show
Your lovingkindness
, O bSavior
of those who take
refuge
1at Your right
hand
From those who rise
up against them.
Keep me as 1the aapple
of the eye
; Hide
me bin the shadow
of Your wings
From the awicked who despoil
me, My bdeadly
enemies
who surround
me.
They have aclosed their 1unfeeling
heart, With their mouth
they bspeak
proudly
.
They have now asurrounded
us in our steps
; They set
their eyes
bto cast
us down
to the ground
.
He is alike a lion
that is eager
to tear
, And as a young
lion
blurking
in hiding
places
.
aArise, O LORD
, confront
him, bbring
him low
; cDeliver
my soul
from the wicked
with dYour sword
,
From men with aYour hand
, O LORD
, From men
1of the world
, bwhose portion
is in this life
, And whose belly
You cfill
with Your treasure
; They are satisfied
with children
, And leave
their abundance
to their babes
.
As for me, I shall abehold Your face
in righteousness
; bI will be satisfied
1with Your clikeness
when I awake
.
