When you probe my heart, and examine me at night; when you refine me, you will find nothing wrong, for I have determined that I will not transgress with my mouth.

Protect me as the most precious part of the eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings

For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of those who practice of evil has encircled me. They gouged my hands and my feet.

By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed.

Listen to me, and deliver me quickly. Become a rock of safety for me, a fortified citadel to deliver me;

I have heard the slander of many; it is like terror all around me, as they conspire together and plot to take my life.

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, as they congratulate themselves when my foot slips."

By day the LORD will command his gracious love, and by night his song is with me a prayer to the God of my life.

For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy.

Show me a sign of your goodness, so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed. For you, LORD, will help and comfort me. A psalm by the descendants of Korah. A song.

Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Appoint an evil person over him; may an accuser stand at his right side.

With the LORD beside me as my helper, I will triumph over those who hate me.

Turn in my direction and show mercy to me, as you have decreed regarding those who love your name.

Let my request come before you; deliver me, as you have promised.

Break me out of this prison, so I can give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal generously with me. A Davidic Song
