1. Listen to what’s right, Lord;pay attention to my cry!Listen closely to my prayer;it’s spoken by lips that don’t lie!
2. My justice comes from you;let your eyes see what is right!
3. You have examined my heart,testing me at night.You’ve looked me over closely,but haven’t found anything wrong.My mouth doesn’t sin.
4. But these other people’s deeds?I have avoided such violent waysby the command from your lips.
5. My steps are set firmly on your paths;my feet haven’t slipped.
6. I cry out to you because you answer me.So tilt your ears toward me now—listen to what I’m saying!
7. Manifest your faithful love in amazing waysbecause you are the onewho saves those who take refuge in you,saving them from their attackersby your strong hand.
8. Watch me with the very pupil of your eye!Hide me in the protection of your wings,
