1. Lord, hear me begging for fairness; listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, because I speak the truth.
|
1. A Prayer H8605 of David H1732 . Hear H8085 the right H6664 , O LORD H3068 attend H7181 unto my cry H7440 , give ear H238 unto my prayer H8605 , that goeth not H3808 out of feigned H4820 lips H8193 .
|
|
2. You will judge that I am right; your eyes can see what is true.
|
2. Let my sentence H4941 come forth H3318 from thy presence H4480 H6440 ; let thine eyes H5869 behold H2372 the things that are equal H4339 .
|
|
3. You have examined my heart; you have tested me all night. You questioned me without finding anything wrong; I have not sinned with my mouth.
|
3. Thou hast proved H974 mine heart H3820 ; thou hast visited H6485 me in the night H3915 ; thou hast tried H6884 me, and shalt find H4672 nothing H1077 ; I am purposed H2161 that my mouth H6310 shall not H1077 transgress H5674 .
|
|
4. I have obeyed your commands, so I have not done what evil people do.
|
4. Concerning the works H6468 of men H120 , by the word H1697 of thy lips H8193 I H589 have kept H8104 me from the paths H734 of the destroyer H6530 .
|
|
5. I have done what you told me; I have not failed.
|
5. Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths H4570 , that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not H1077 .
|
|
6. I call to you, God, and you answer me. Listen to me now, and hear what I say.
|
6. I H589 have called upon H7121 thee, for H3588 thou wilt hear H6030 me , O God H410 : incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto me , and hear H8085 my speech H565 .
|
|
7. Your love is wonderful. By your power you save those who trust you from their enemies.
|
7. Show thy marvelous lovingkindness H6395 H2617 , O thou that savest H3467 by thy right hand H3225 them which put their trust H2620 in thee from those that rise up H4480 H6965 against them .
|
|
8. Protect me as you would protect your own eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
|
8. Keep H8104 me as the apple H380 H1323 of the eye H5869 , hide H5641 me under the shadow H6738 of thy wings H3671 ,
|
|
9. Keep me from the wicked who attack me, from my enemies who surround me.
|
9. From H4480 H6440 the wicked H7563 that H2098 oppress H7703 me, from my deadly H5315 enemies H341 , who compass me about H5362 H5921 .
|
|
10. They are selfish and brag about themselves.
|
10. They are enclosed in H5462 their own fat H2459 : with their mouth H6310 they speak H1696 proudly H1348 .
|
|
11. They have chased me until they have surrounded me. They plan to throw me to the ground.
|
11. They have now H6258 compassed H5437 us in our steps H838 : they have set H7896 their eyes H5869 bowing down H5186 to the earth H776 ;
|
|
12. They are like lions ready to kill; like lions, they sit in hiding.
|
12. Like H1825 as a lion H738 that is greedy H3700 of his prey H2963 , and as it were a young lion H3715 lurking H3427 in secret places H4565 .
|
|
13. Lord, rise up, face the enemy, and throw them down. Save me from the wicked with your sword.
|
13. Arise H6965 , O LORD H3068 , disappoint H6923 H6440 him , cast him down H3766 : deliver H6403 my soul H5315 from the wicked H4480 H7563 , which is thy sword H2719 :
|
|
14. Lord, save me by your power from those whose reward is in this life. They have plenty of food. They have many sons and leave much money to their children.
|
14. From men H4480 H4962 which are thy hand H3027 , O LORD H3068 , from men H4480 H4962 of the world H4480 H2465 , which have their portion H2506 in this life H2416 , and whose belly H990 thou fillest H4390 with thy hid H6845 treasure : they are full H7646 of children H1121 , and leave H5117 the rest H3499 of their substance to their babes H5768 .
|
|
15. Because I have lived right, I will see your face. When I wake up, I will see your likeness and be satisfied. For the director of music. By the Lord's servant, David. David sang this song to the Lord when the Lord had saved him from Saul and all his other enemies.
|
15. As for me H589 , I will behold H2372 thy face H6440 in righteousness H6664 : I shall be satisfied H7646 , when I awake H6974 , with thy likeness H8544 .
