1. Hear the tzedek (righteous plea of a just cause), Hashem, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my tefillah, that goeth not out of lips of mirmah (deceit).
2. Let my mishpat (right) come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold the things that are right.
3. Thou hast probed mine lev; Thou hast visited me in the lailah; Thou hast tested me and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4. Concerning the works of men, by the Devar of Thy lips I have kept myself from the paths of the cruel.
5. Uphold my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps stumble not.
6. I have called upon Thee, for Thou wilt hear me, O El; incline Thine ear unto me, and hear my prayer.
7. Show Thy marvellous chesed, O Thou Moshi'a Who saves by Thy right hand them which put their trust in Thee from those that rise up against them.
8. Be shomer over me as the apple of Thy eye; hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
9. From the resha'im that oppress me, from my deadly enemies threatening my nefesh, who surround me.
