Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] by night; thou hast tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
—
16:4
As for the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.

Direct my steps in thy paths, that my steps slip not.

Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist thy right hand: thou shalt screen me by the covering of thy wings,

from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.

They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.

They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.

Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] thy sword,
—
16:14
because of the enemies of thine hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with thy hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.

16:15
But I shall appear in righteousness before thy face: I shall be satisfied when thy glory appears.
