As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.

Hear righteousness, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that does not go out of feigned lips.

Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me with the shadow of thy wings,

Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast refined me and hast found no iniquity; that which I thought did not pass through my mouth.

I have called upon thee, because thou dost hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me and hear my speech.

Show thy mercy to be marvellous, O Saviour of those who put their trust in thee, from those that rise up against thy right hand.

Sustain my steps in thy ways that my footsteps not slip.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have observed the ways of the violent.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold uprightness.

from men, with thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life and whose belly thou dost fill with thy provision: they satisfy their sons and leave the rest to their family.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, with thy sword;

They are closed in with their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.

like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes upon throwing us down to the earth

from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
