2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Let my vindication come from You, for You see what is right.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3You have tested my heart; You have examined me at night. You have tried me and found nothing evil; I have determined that my mouth will not sin.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Concerning what people do: by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5My steps are on Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6I call on You, God, because You will answer me; listen closely to me; hear what I say.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Display the wonders of Your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel against Your right hand.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Protect me as the pupil of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9from the wicked who treat me violently, my deadly enemies who surround me.

14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14With Your hand, LORD, save me from men, from men of the world whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store; their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15But I will see Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence.
