## In the Shadow of Your Wings ###### 1 Hear a righteous cause, O Yahweh, give heed to my cry of lamentation; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips. ###### 2 May my judgment come from Your presence; May Your eyes behold what is upright. ###### 3 You have tested my heart; You have visited _me_ by night; You have tried me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. ###### 4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent. ###### 5 My steps have held fast to Your paths. My footsteps have not stumbled. ###### 6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. ###### 7 Marvelously show Your lovingkindnesses, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up _against them_. ###### 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings ###### 9 From the wicked who devastate me, My deadly enemies who surround me. ###### 10 They have closed their unfeeling _heart_, With their mouth they speak proudly. ###### 11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast _us_ down to the ground. ###### 12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places. ###### 13 Arise, O Yahweh, confront him, bring him low; Protect my soul from the wicked with Your sword, ###### 14 From men with Your hand, O Yahweh, From men of the world, whose portion is in _this_ life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their excess to their infants. ###### 15 As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.
