Psal CPDV 16:1  A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
Psal CPDV 16:2  Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
Psal CPDV 16:3  You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.

Psal CPDV 16:8  From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,

Psal CPDV 16:13  Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
Psal CPDV 16:14  Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
Psal CPDV 16:15  But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
