## 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.
