Hear a
just cause, O
LORD,
give heed to my
cry;
Give ear to my
prayer, which is not from
deceitful lips.

Let my

presence; Let Your
eyes look with
equity.

You have
tried my
heart; You have
visited me by
night; You have
tested me and You
find nothing; I have
purposed that my
mouth will not
transgress.

As for the

kept from the
paths of the

Incline Your

take refuge at Your

rise up against them.

They have

Deliver my

From

LORD, From
men of the
world, whose
portion is in this
life, And whose
belly You
fill with Your
treasure; They are
satisfied with
children, And
leave their
abundance to their
