They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes. But as for me, I shall behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.

{A Prayer of David} Hear the right, O LORD; consider my complaint, and hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

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

Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season; thou hast tried me, and shalt find no wickedness in me, for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not offend.

I have called upon thee, O God, for thou shalt hear me; incline thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

O hold thou up my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps slip not.

Because of men's works that are done against the words of thy lips, I have kept me from the ways of the destroyer.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.

From the men of thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world, which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

Arise, LORD, disappoint him, and cast him down; deliver my soul with thy sword from the ungodly -

They are enclosed in their own fat, and their mouth speaketh proud things.

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

They lie waiting in our way on every side, watching to cast us down to the ground,

from the ungodly that trouble me. Mine enemies compass me round about, to take away my soul.
