| 1 ¶ <<A Prayer
of David.>> 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. |

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. |

thine ear David is confident. The almighty Soverign of the universe
hears our prayers, too.

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. |

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. |
