\d A psalm written by David
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me.
|
|
\q2 Hear me while I call out to you to help me.
|
|
\q1 Pay attention to what I say while I pray
|
|
\q2 because I am speaking honestly.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 You are the one who is able to declare that I am innocent;
|
|
\q2 please agree to do what is right for me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 If you come to me at night to learn what I think,
|
|
\q2 if you see what I think in my heart,
|
|
\q1 you will know that I have determined to never tell any lies; you will find that I do not think evil things.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 I have not acted like those who do not honor you;
|
|
\q2 I have always acted in the power of what you have instructed me;
|
|
\q1 I have not acted like those who do not know your law.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 I have always done what you told me to do;
|
|
\q2 I have never failed to do those things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 O God, I am praying to you because you answer me;
|
|
\q2 please listen to what I am saying.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Continue to show me your love as you promised you would do.
|
|
\q2 By your great power you protect all who trust in you; you keep them safe from their enemies.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Protect me as carefully as people protect their own eyes;
|
|
\q2 protect me like birds protect their babies under their wings.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me,
|
|
\q2 those enemies of mine who surround, wanting to kill me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 They are proud of their riches and success,
|
|
\q2 but they have no mercy on anyone.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 They have hunted for me and found me.
|
|
\q2 They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground and kill me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 They are like lions that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture;
|
|
\q2 They are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to jump on their prey.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Yahweh, arise, attack my enemies, and defeat them!
|
|
\q2 With your sword save me from those wicked people!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Yahweh, by your power rescue me from those people who are interested only in things here in this world.
|
|
\q1 But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly;
|
|
\q2 their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Yahweh, because I act in the right way, I will be with you one day.
|
|
\q2 When I awake after I die, I will see you face to face, and then I will be happy.
