1 A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer— it comes from lips free of deceit.

A prayer of David hear! O Yahweh - righteousness pay attention to! cry of entreaty my give ear to! prayer my with not lips of deceit.

2 May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.

3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.

You have tested heart my - you have visited night you have tested me not you will find I have resolved not it will transgress mouth my.

4 As for the deeds of men— by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].

5 My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.

They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.

6 I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.

7 Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.

Make wonderful covenant loyalti your O deliverer of [those who] take refuge from [those who] rise up by right [hand] your.

9 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.

10 They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.

11 They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.

12 like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

Likeness his [is] like a lion [which] it longs to tear to pieces and like a young lion [which] sits in hiding places.

13 Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.

14 from such men, O LORD, by Your hand— from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

From men hand your - O Yahweh from men from [the] world [whom] portion their [is] in the life (and treasured [thing] your *Q(K)*) you fill belly their they are satisfied sons and they leave abundance their to children their.
