A Prayer by David.

[1] Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea.
Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
[2] Let my sentence come out of your presence.
Let your eyes look on equity.
[3] You have proved my heart.
You have visited me in the night.
You have tried me, and found nothing.
I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
[4] As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
[5] My steps have held fast to your paths.
My feet have not slipped.
[6] I have called on you, for you will answer me, God.
Turn your ear to me.
Hear my speech.
[7] Show your marvelous loving kindness,
you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
[8] Keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
[9] from the wicked who oppress me,
my deadly enemies, who surround me.
[10] They close up their callous hearts.
With their mouth they speak proudly.
[11] They have now surrounded us in our steps.
They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
[12] He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,
as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
[13] Arise, Yahweh, confront him.
Cast him down.
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
[14] from men by your hand, Yahweh,
from men of the world, whose portion is in this life.
You fill the belly of your cherished ones.
Your sons have plenty,
and they store up wealth for their children.
[15] As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness.
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
King James Version

[1] Hear H8085 the right, H6664§ O Lord, H3068 attend H7181 unto my cry, H7440
Give ear H238 unto my prayer, H8605 that goeth not H3808 out of feigned H4820 lips. H8193

Let thine eyes H5869 behold H2372 the things that are equal. H4339
[3] Thou hast proved H974 mine heart; H3820 thou hast visited H6485 me in the night; H3915 Thou hast tried H6884 me, and shalt find H4672 nothing;
I am purposed H2161 that my mouth H6310 shall not transgress. H5674
[4] Concerning the works H6468 of men, H120 by the word H1697 of thy lips H8193
I have kept H8104 me from the paths H734 of the destroyer. H6530
[5] Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths, H4570 that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not.§
[6] I have called H7121 upon thee, for thou wilt hear H6030 me, O God: H410
Incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto me, and hear H8085 my speech. H565
[7] Shew thy marvellous H6395 lovingkindness, H2617 O thou that savest H3467 by thy right hand H3225 them which put their trust H2620 in thee

[11] They have now compassed H5437 us in our steps: H838
They have set H7896 their eyes H5869 bowing down H5186 to the earth; H776
[12] Like H1825 as a lion H738§ that is greedy H3700 of his prey, H2963
And as it were a young lion H3715 lurking H3427§ in secret places. H4565
[13] Arise, H6965 O Lord, H3068 disappoint H6923 him, H6440§ cast him down: H3766
