1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1O LORD, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, for it comes from honest lips.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Declare me innocent, for you see those who do right.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin in what I say.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4I have followed your commands, which keep me from following cruel and evil people.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Protect me from wicked people who attack me, from murderous enemies who surround me.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10They are without pity. Listen to their boasting!
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11They track me down and surround me, watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart— like young lions hiding in ambush.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13Arise, O LORD! Stand against them, and bring them to their knees! Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14By the power of your hand, O LORD, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.
