1 Hear a righteous cause, Jehovah, attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer from no lips of guile. 2 From Thy face let my sentence go forth; Thine eyes behold rightly. 3 Thou provest my heart, searchest it by night, Triest me by fire: Thou findest not [anything]; Should I purpose evil, it shall not pass my mouth (?) 4 As for (During) the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the violent man. 5 My steps have held fast to Thy ways; My feet have not slipped. 6 I, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; Incline Thine ear unto me: hear my speech. 7 Magnify (Make wonderful) Thy loving-kindnesses, Thou who savest those who seek refuge From those who rise [against them?] by Thy right hand. 8 Keep me as the pupil, the daughter of the eye; In the shadow of Thy wing hide me 9 From the wicked, who lay me waste, My enemies at heart, [who] ring me round. 10 Their heart they have shut up; With their mouth they speak in arrogance. 11 In our steps, they already compass us about; Their eyes they fix, to lay [us] on the ground. 12 He is like a lion who longs to rend, And a young lion crouching in coverts. 13 Arise, Jehovah: meet his face: make him crouch; Deliver my soul from the wicked [with] Thy sword, 14 From men [by] Thy hand, Jehovah, from men of the world, [Having] their portion in [this] life, and [with] Thy hidden treasure Thou fillest their belly; They are full of sons, and leave their overabundance to their children. 15 I, I shall in righteousness behold Thy face; I shall be satisfied on awaking [with] Thy likeness.
