¹A prayer of David. ²May my vindication come from Your presence; ³You have tried my heart; ⁴As for the deeds of men — ⁵My steps have held to Your paths; ⁶I call on You, O God, ⁷Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, ⁸Keep me as the apple of Your eye; ⁹from the wicked who assail me, ¹⁰They have closed their callous hearts; ¹¹They have tracked us down, and now surround us; ¹²like a lion greedy for prey, ¹³Arise, O LORD, confront them! ¹⁴from such men, O LORD, by Your hand— ¹⁵As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness;
