Verse KJV King James Version BSB Berean Standard Bible
Hear the right , O LORD, attend unto my cry , give ear unto my prayer , that goeth not out of feigned lips.
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 .
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal .
May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right .
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night ; thou hast tried me , and shalt find nothing ; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress .
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.
Concerning the works of men , by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer .
As for the deeds of men by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent .
Hold up my goings in thy paths , that my footsteps slip not.
My steps have held to Your paths ; my feet have not slipped .
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me , O God : incline thine ear unto me , and hear my speech .
I call on You , O God , for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me ; hear my words .
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness , O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them .
Show the wonders of Your loving devotion , You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes .
Keep me as the apple of the eye , hide me under the shadow of thy wings ,
Keep me as the apple of Your eye ; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies , who compass me about .
from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly .
They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance .
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
They have tracked us down, and now surround us ; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places .
like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush .
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked , which is thy sword :
Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword ,
From men which are thy hand , O LORD, from men of the world , which have their portion in this life , and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes .
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 .
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness : I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness .
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness ; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence .
