1 A Prayer by David. Hear justness, O Yah Veh; hearken to my shouting: hearken to my prayer from lips without deceit.
2 My judgment comes from your face; your eyes see them who are in straightnesses;
3 you proof my heart; you visit me in the night; you refine me; you find naught; I plot that my mouth not transgress.
4 Concerning the deeds of humanity, by the word of your lips I guard me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Uphold my steps in your paths that my steps totter not.
6 I - I call you, for you answer me, O El; spread your ear to me and my sayings:
7 distinguish your marvellous mercy, O you, who by your right saves them who seek refuge from those who rise.
8 Guard me as the pupil - the daughter of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings
9 from the face of the wicked who ravage me - from my soul enemies who surround me.
10 They shut their fat; their mouth words pompously:
11 they surround our steps; they set their eyes spreading to the earth:
12 as as a lion yearning for his prey - as a whelp settling in the coverts.
13 Rise, O Yah Veh, anticipate his face; knuckle him under: slip my soul from the wicked by your sword
14 - from men by your hand, O Yah Veh - from transient men whose allotment is this life - in whose belly you treasured treasure: their sons satiate and leave the remainder to their infants.
15 As for me, I see your face in justness; I satsify when I waken with your manifestation.
