1 Lord, consider my just cause!Pay attention to my cry for help!Listen to the prayerI sincerely offer!
2 Make a just decision on my behalf!Decide what is right!
3 You have scrutinized my inner motives;you have examined me during the night.You have carefully evaluated me, but you find no sin.I am determined I will say nothing sinful.
4 As for the actions of people – just as you have commanded,I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men.
5 I carefully obey your commands;I do not deviate from them.
6 I call to you for you will answer me, O God.Listen to me!Hear what I say!
7 Accomplish awesome, faithful deeds,you who powerfully deliver those who look to you for protection from their enemies.
