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.
