Hear My Righteous Plea
A prayer of David.
Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; Psa 142:6Psa 61:11Jn 3:21Dan 9:18-19Mat 15:8Psa 145:182Ch 7:15Isa 29:13
listen to my cry.
Give ear to my prayer—
it comes from lips free of deceit.
May my vindication come from Your presence; Psa 37:62Th 1:6-9Ezk 18:25Ezk 18:29Jud 1:24Ezk 33:17Psa 37:33Ezk 33:20
may Your eyes see what is right.
You have tried my heart; Job 23:10Act 11:23Psa 26:2Psa 39:1Mal 3:2Jer 50:20Pro 13:3Psa 119:106
You have visited me in the night.
You have tested me and found no evil;
I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
As for the deeds of men— 1Co 3:31Pe 5:8Psa 119:9-11Eph 6:17Mat 4:10Mat 4:7Rev 12:11Jas 1:18
by the word of Your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
My steps have held to Your paths; Psa 44:18Psa 119:1331Sa 2:9Psa 121:3Psa 121:7Psa 18:36Psa 38:16Jer 10:23
my feet have not slipped.
I call on You, O God, Psa 116:2Psa 86:7Psa 66:19-20Psa 88:2Psa 55:16Dan 9:17-19Isa 37:17Isa 37:20
for You will answer me.
Incline Your ear to me;
hear my words.
Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, Psa 60:5Psa 20:6Psa 31:21Psa 5:11-12Isa 41:101Sa 17:45-572Ch 16:92Ki 19:34
You who save by Your right hand
those who seek refuge from their foes.
Keep me as the apple of 1Your eye; Deu 32:10Psa 91:4Psa 91:1Pro 7:2Psa 61:4Zec 2:8Luk 13:34Psa 36:7
hide me in the shadow of Your wings
from the wicked who assail me, Psa 35:4Psa 35:71Ch 17:91Sa 24:11Psa 31:20Psa 35:12Psa 7:5
from my mortal enemies who surround me.
They have closed their callous hearts; 1Sa 2:3Psa 123:4Psa 31:18Mat 13:15Rev 13:5-62Pe 2:18Act 28:27Exo 15:9
their mouths speak with arrogance.
They have tracked us down, and now surround us; Pro 6:13-14Psa 37:14Psa 10:8-101Sa 23:261Sa 24:2-31Sa 26:2-3Psa 88:17
their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
like a lion greedy for prey, Psa 7:21Pe 5:8Psa 10:92Ti 4:17Psa 22:13
like a young lion lurking in ambush.
Arise, O LORD, confront them! Psa 3:7Psa 44:26Psa 7:6Act 4:28Psa 22:20Psa 44:23Psa 7:11-13Isa 10:15
Bring them to their knees;
deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,
from such men, O LORD, by Your hand— Job 22:18Jhn 17:14Jhn 15:19Jhn 8:23Luk 12:19-21Luk 16:25Luk 16:8Psa 49:17-19
from men of the world
whose portion is in this life.
May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones 2and satisfy their sons,
so they leave their abundance to their children.
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; 2Co 3:18Mat 5:6Psa 11:7Psa 16:111Jn 3:2-3Psa 4:6-7Php 3:21Isa 26:19
when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
