1Hear, LORD, my righteous plea.
2Let my sentence come out of your presence.
3You have proved my heart.
4As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips,
5My steps have held fast to your paths.
6I have called on you, for you will answer me, God.
7Show your marvellous loving kindness,
8Keep me as the apple of your eye.
9from the wicked who oppress me,
10They close up their callous hearts.
11They have now surrounded us in our steps.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,
13Arise, LORD, confront him.
14from men by your hand, LORD,
15As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness.
