1. Lord, hear me begging for fairness.Listen to my cry for help.Pay attention to my prayer.I speak the truth.
2. You will judge that I am right.Your eyes can see what is true.
3. You have examined my heart.You have tested me all night.You questioned me without finding anything wrong.I did not plan any evil.
4. I have obeyed your commands.I have not done what evil people do.
5. I have done what you told me to do.I have not failed.
6. I call to you, God,and you answer me.Listen to me now.Hear what I say.
7. Your love is wonderful.By your power you savefrom their enemies those who trust you.
8. Protect me as you would protect your own eye.Protect me as a bird hides her young under her wings.
9. Keep me from the wicked who attack me.Protect me from my enemies who surround me.
10. They are selfish.They brag about themselves.
11. They have chased me.Now they surround me.They plan to throw me to the ground.
