A Cry for Justice

17LORD, hear my just plea! Pay attention to my cry! Listen to my prayer, since it does not come from lying lips.H8605H1732H8085H6664H3068H7181H7440H238H8605H3808H4820H8193 2Justice for me will come from your presence; your eyes see what is right.H4941H3318H6440H5869H2372H4339 3When you probe my heart, and examine me at night; when you refine me, you will find nothing wrong, for I have determined that I will not transgress with my mouth.H974H3820H6485H3915H6884H4672H2161H6310H5674 4As for the ways of mankind, I have, according to the words of your lips, avoided the ways of the violent.H6468H120H1697H8193H8104H734H6530 5Because my steps have held fast to your paths, my footsteps have not faltered.H8551H838H4570H6471H4131 6I call upon you, for you will answer me, God. Listen closely to me and hear my prayer.H7121H6030H410H5186H241H8085H565 7Show forth your gracious love, save those who take refuge in you from those who rebel against your sovereign power.H6395H2617H3467H3225H2620H6965 8Protect me as the most precious part of the eye; hide me under the shadow of your wingsH8104H380H1323H5869H5641H6738H3671 9from the wicked who have afflicted me, from my enemies who have surrounded me.H6440H7563H2098H7703H5315H341H5362 10They are imprisoned by their own prosperity, they have boasted proudly with their mouth.H5462H2459H6310H1696H1348 11Now they have encircled our paths and are determined to cast us down to the ground.H5437H838H7896H5869H5186H776 12Like a lion they desire to rip us to pieces, like a young lion waiting in ambush.H1825H738H3700H2963H3715H3427H4565 13Arise, LORD, confront them, bring them to their knees! Deliver me from the wicked by your sword?H6965H3068H6923H6440H3766H6403H5315H7563H2719 14from men, Lord, by your hand? from men who belong to this world, whose reward is only in this life. But as for your treasured ones, may their stomachs be full, may their children have an abundance, and may they leave wealth to their offspring.H4962H3027H3068H4962H2465H2506H2416H990H4390H6840H7646H1121H3240H3499H5768 15But as for me, justified, I will behold your face; when I awake, your presence will satisfy me.H2372H6440H6664H7646H6974H8544
