## 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.
