1. Hear a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2. Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity.
3. You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4. As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.
5. My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6. I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7. Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.
8. Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9. From the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies who surround me.
