[1] [[A Prayer of David.]] Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. [2] Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. [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. [4] Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. [5] Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip [6] I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. [7] Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up [8] Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
