1Hear a just cause, O Lord ; attend to my cry;
give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit.
2From you let my vindication come;
let your eyes see the right.
3If you try my heart, if you visit me by night,[#Job 23.10; Ps 26.2; 39.1; 66.10; Jer 50.20]
if you test me, you will find no wickedness in me;
my mouth does not transgress.
4As for what others do, by the word of your lips[#Prov 1.15]
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5My steps have held fast to your paths;[#Ps 18.36; 44.18]
my feet have not slipped.
6I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;[#Ps 86.7; 88.2]
incline your ear to me; hear my words.
7Wondrously show your steadfast love,[#Ps 20.6; 31.21]
O savior of those who seek refuge
from their adversaries at your right hand.
8Guard me as the apple of the eye;[#Deut 32.10; Ps 36.7]
hide me in the shadow of your wings,
9from the wicked who despoil me,
my deadly enemies who surround me.
10They close their hearts to pity;[#1 Sam 2.3; Ps 31.18; 73.7]
with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11They flush me out; now they surround me;[#17.11 Q ms Gk: MT Our steps]
they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.
12They are like a lion eager to tear,[#Ps 7.2; 10.9]
like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13Rise up, O Lord , confront them, overthrow them![#Ps 7.12; 22.20; 73.18]
By your sword deliver my life from the wicked,
14from mortals—by your hand, O Lord —[#Job 21.11; Ps 73.3–7; Isa 2.7; Lk 16.8]
from mortals whose portion in life is in this world.
May their bellies be filled with what you have stored up for them;
may their children have more than enough;
may they leave something over to their little ones.
15As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;[#Ps 4.6, 7; 16.11; 1 Jn 3.2]
when I awake I shall be satisfied, beholding your likeness.
