\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 Listen to my plea for justice, Yahweh; pay attention to my call for help!
|
|
\q Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Let my vindication come from your presence; let your eyes see what is right!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 If you test my heart, if you come to me in the night,
|
|
\q you will purify me and will not find any evil plans; my mouth will not transgress.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 As for the deeds of mankind, it is at the word of your lips that I have kept myself from the ways of the lawless.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 My steps have held firmly to your tracks; my feet have not slipped.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 I call to you, for you answer me, God; turn your ear to me and listen when I speak.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Show your covenant faithfulness in a wonderful way, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their enemies!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Protect me like the apple of your eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 from the presence of the wicked ones who assault me, my enemies who surround me.
|
|
\q

|
\v 10 They have no mercy on anyone; their mouths speak with pride.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 They have surrounded my steps. They set their eyes to strike me to the ground.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 They are like a lion eager for a victim, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Arise, Yahweh! Attack them! Throw them down on their faces! Rescue my life from the wicked by your sword!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 Rescue me from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of this world whose prosperity is in this life alone!
|
|
\q You will fill the bellies of your treasured ones with riches; they will have many children and will leave their wealth to their children.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 As for me, I will see your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied, when I awake, with a sight of you.
