Psalm 16
A prayer of David.
Listen, O Lord of my righteousness; Attend to my supplication; Give ear to my prayer that is not with deceitful lips.
From Your face let my judgment come; Let my eyes behold uprightness.
You tested my heart, when You visited me in the night; You tried me in the fire, and found nothing unjust in me.
That my mouth might not speak of the works of men, I held to hard ways because of the words of Your lips.
Restore my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.
I cried out, because You listened to me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my words.
Magnify Your mercies, O You who save those who hope in You From those who rise up against Your right hand.
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; In the shelter of Your wings, You will shelter me From the face of the ungodly who trouble me.
My enemies surrounded my soul; Their fat enclosed them; Their mouth spoke arrogantly.
Casting me out, they now surround me; They set their eyes to bend down to the earth.
They seized me like a lion ready to tear its prey, Like a young lion lurking in secret places.
Arise, O Lord, outrun them and trip up their heels; Rescue my soul from the ungodly, And Your sword from the enemies of Your hand.
O Lord, destroy them from the earth; Scatter them in their life. Their belly is filled with Your hidden things; They are satisfied with their sons, And they leave their possessions to their children.
As for me, in righteousness I shall behold Your face; I shall be satisfied when Your glory is revealed.
