Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.

A Prayer of David.

1 Hear a ajust cause, O Lord, bgive heed to my cry;
cGive ear to my prayer, which is not from ddeceitful lips.
 2Let emy ▼
▼ I.e. vindication
judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with gequity.
 3You have htried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have itested me and jYou find ▼
▼ Or no evil device in me; My mouth
nothing;
I have lpurposed that my mouth will not transgress.
 4As for the deeds of men, mby the word of Your lips
I have kept from the npaths of the violent.
 5My osteps have held fast to Your ▼
▼ Lit tracks
paths.
My qfeet have not slipped.

 6I have rcalled upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
sIncline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
 7 tWondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O uSavior of those who take refuge ▼
▼ Or from those who rise up...at Your right hand
at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
 8Keep me as ▼
▼ Lit the pupil, the daughter of the eye
the xapple of the eye;
Hide me yin the shadow of Your wings
 9From the zwicked who despoil me,
My aadeadly enemies who surround me.
 10They have abclosed their ▼
▼ Lit fat
unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they adspeak proudly.
 11They have now aesurrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes afto cast us down to the ground.
 12He is aglike a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion ahlurking in hiding places.

 13 aiArise, O Lord, confront him, ajbring him low;
akDeliver my soul from the wicked with alYour sword,
 14From men with amYour hand, O Lord,
From men ▼
▼ Or whose portion in life is of the world
of the world, aowhose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You apfill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babes.
 15As for me, I shall aqbehold Your face in righteousness;
arI will be satisfied ▼
▼ Or with beholding
with Your atlikeness when I awake.
