1 Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; 2 Let my sentence come out of your presence. 3 You have proved my heart. 4 As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, 5 My steps have held fast to your paths. 6 I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. 7 Show your marvelous loving kindness, 8 Keep me as the apple of your eye. 9 from the wicked who oppress me, 10 They close up their callous hearts. 11 They have now surrounded us in our steps. 12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, 13 Arise, Yahweh, confront him. 14 from men by your hand, Yahweh, 15 As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness.
