1 G1522 Hear, G2962 O lord, G3588 G1343 my righteousness! G1473 G4337 Take heed G3588 to G1162 my supplication! G1473 G1801 Give ear G3588 to G4335 my prayer G1473 G3756 not uttered G1722 by G5491 [²lips G1386 ¹deceitful]!

2 G1537 [⁴from G4383 ⁵your presence G1473 G3588 G2917 ²my judgment G1473 G1831 ¹May ³come forth]; G3588 G3788 [²my eyes G1473 G1492 ¹let] behold G2118 uprightness!

3 G1381 You tried G3588 G2588 my heart; G1473 G1980 you visited G3571 at night; G4448 you set me on fire, G1473 G2532 and G3756 [²was not found G2147 G1722 ³in G1473 ⁴me G93 ¹injustice], G3704 so G302 that G3361 [²should not G2980 ³speak G3588 G4750 ¹my mouth]. G1473

4 G3588 Concerning the G2041 works G3588 G444 of men, G1223 by G3588 the G3056 words G3588 G5491 of your lips G1473 G1473 I G5442 guarded G3598 [²ways G4642 ¹hard].

5 G2675 Fashion G3588 G1226.1 my footsteps G1473 G1722 in G3588 G5147 your roads! G1473 G2443 that G3361 [²should not G4531 ³be shaken G3588 G1226.1 ¹my footsteps]. G1473

6 G1473 I G2896 cried, G3754 for G1873 you heeded G1473 me, G3588 O G2316 God; G2827 lean G3588 G3775 your ear G1473 G1473 to me, G2532 and G1522 hear G3588 G4487 my words! G1473

7 G2298.1 Show the wonder G3588 G1656 of your mercies! G1473 G3588 O G4982 one delivering G3588 the G1679 ones hoping G1909 upon G1473 you, G1537 from G3588 the ones G436 opposing G3588 at G1188 your right. G1473

8 G5442 Guard G1473 me, G2962 O lord, G5613 as G2880.1 the pupil G3788 of the eye! G1722 Under G4629.2 the protection G3588 G4420 of your wings G1473 G4628.1 shelter G1473 me!

9 G575 even from G4383 the face G765 of the impious G3588 G5003 ones causing misery G1473 for me. G3588 G2190 My enemies G1473 G3588 G5590 [²my soul G1473 G4023 ¹compass].

10 G3588 G4720.1 [²in their own fat G1473 G4788 ¹They are enclosed]; G3588 G4750 their mouth G1473 G2980 speaks G5243 pride.

11 G1544 They are casting me out G1473 G3568 now; G4033 they surrounded G1473 me; G3588 G3788 their eyes G1473 G5087 set G1578 to turn me G1722 to G3588 the G1093 ground.

12 G5274 [⁶they undertook G1473 ⁷me G5616 ¹As G3023 ²a lion G2092 ³prepared G1519 ⁴for G2339 ⁵a hunt], G2532 and G5616 as G4661.1 a cub G3611 living G1722 in G614 concealment.

13 G450 Rise up, G2962 O lord! G4399 Be there beforehand with G1473 them, G2532 and G5286.3 trip G1473 them! G4506 Rescue G3588 G5590 my soul G1473 G575 from G765 the impious G4501 by your broadsword! G1473

14 G575 From G2190 the enemies G3588 G5495 by your hand, G1473 G2962 O lord; G575 from G3641 the few G575 of G1093 the earth; G1266 divide them G1473 G1722 in G3588 G2222 their life. G1473 G2532 And G3588 G2928 of your things being hidden G1473 G4130 [²was filled G3588 G1064 ¹their belly]; G1473 G5526 they were filled G5207 of sons, G2532 and G863 [³they leave G3588 ¹the G2645 ²remnants] G3588 to G3516 their infants. G1473

15 G1473 But I G1161 G1722 [⁴in G1343 ⁵righteousness G3708 ¹shall appear G3588 G4383 ²in front G1473 ³of you]. G5526 I shall be filled G1722 in G3588 G3708 [³appearing G1473 ⁴to me G3588 G1391 ¹your glory]. G1473

1 H8605 A Prayer H1732 of David H8085 . Hear [H8798] H6664 the right H3068 , O LORD H7181 , attend [H8685] H7440 unto my cry H238 , give ear [H8685] H8605 unto my prayer H3808 , that goeth not H4820 out of feigned H8193 lips.

2 H4941 Let my sentence H3318 come forth [H8799] H6440 from thy presence H5869 ; let thine eyes H2372 behold [H8799] H4339 the things that are equal.

3 H974 Thou hast proved [H8804] H3820 mine heart H6485 ; thou hast visited [H8804] H3915 me in the night H6884 ; thou hast tried [H8804] H4672 me, and shalt find [H8799] H2161 nothing; I am purposed [H8800] H6310 that my mouth H5674 shall not transgress [H8799] .

4 H6468 Concerning the works H120 of men H1697 , by the word H8193 of thy lips H8104 I have kept [H8804] H734 me from the paths H6530 of the destroyer.

5 H8551 Hold up [H8800] H838 my goings H4570 in thy paths H6471 , that my footsteps H4131 slip [H8738] not.

6 H7121 I have called [H8804] H6030 upon thee, for thou wilt hear [H8799] H410 me, O God H5186 : incline [H8685] H241 thine ear H8085 unto me, and hear [H8798] H565 my speech.

7 H6395 Shew thy marvellous [H8685] H2617 lovingkindness H3467 , O thou that savest [H8688] H3225 by thy right hand H2620 them which put their trust [H8802] H6965 in thee from those that rise up [H8693] against them .

8 H8104 Keep [H8798] H380 me as the apple H1323 of the eye H5869 H5641 , hide [H8686] H6738 me under the shadow H3671 of thy wings,

9 H6440 From H7563 the wicked H2098 that H7703 oppress [H8804] H5315 me, from my deadly H341 enemies [H8802] H5362 , who compass me about [H8686] .

10 H5462 They are inclosed [H8804] H2459 in their own fat H6310 : with their mouth H1696 they speak [H8765] H1348 proudly.

11 H5437 They have now compassed [H8804] H838 us in our steps H7896 : they have set [H8799] H5869 their eyes H5186 bowing down [H8800] H776 to the earth;

12 H1825 Like H738 as a lion H3700 that is greedy [H8799] H2963 of his prey [H8800] H3715 , and as it were a young lion H3427 lurking [H8802] H4565 in secret places.

13 H6965 Arise [H8798] H3068 , O LORD H6923 , disappoint [H8761] H6440 him H3766 , cast him down [H8685] H6403 : deliver [H8761] H5315 my soul H7563 from the wicked H2719 , which is thy sword:

14 H4962 From men H3027 which are thy hand H3068 , O LORD H4962 , from men H2465 of the world H2506 , which have their portion H2416 in this life H990 , and whose belly H4390 thou fillest [H8762] H6840 with thy hid H7646 treasure : they are full [H8799] H1121 of children H3240 , and leave [H8689] H3499 the rest H5768 of their substance to their babes.

15 H2372 As for me, I will behold [H8799] H6440 thy face H6664 in righteousness H7646 : I shall be satisfied [H8799] H6974 , when I awake [H8687] H8544 , with thy likeness.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear to my prayer, without lips of deceit. ² From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly. ³ Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth. ⁴ As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer; ⁵ To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden. ⁶ I--I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech. ⁷ Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
⁸ Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me. ⁹ From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me. ¹⁰ Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride: ¹¹ `Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land. ¹² His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places. ¹³ Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword, ¹⁴ From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings. ¹⁵ I--in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form!

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. ² Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity. ³ Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. ⁴ As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent. ⁵ My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped. ⁶ I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. ⁷ Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise up against them. ⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings, ⁹ From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about. ¹⁰ They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly. ¹¹ They have now compassed 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, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. ¹³ Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword; ¹⁴ From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes. ¹⁵ As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form. Psalm 18 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah, who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said,
