1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
1
(16-1) <The prayer of David.> Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
2
(16-2) Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
3
(16-3) Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
4
(16-4) That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
5
(16-5) Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.

7

8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
8
(16-8) From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
9
(16-9) From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
10
(16-10) They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
11

14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
14
(16-14) From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
15
(16-15) But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
