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 look upon equity.
3. Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4. As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
5. My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7. Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them, by thy right hand.
