¹ Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips. ² Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright. ³ I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. ⁴ I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer. ⁵ That my footsteps may not slip. ⁶ Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech. ⁷ From those who rise up against them. ⁸ Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, ⁹ From my deadly enemies who surround me. ¹⁰ With their mouths they speak proudly. ¹¹ They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth, ¹² And like a young lion lurking in secret places. ¹³ Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword, ¹⁴ And leave the rest of their possession for their babes. ¹⁵ I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
