Psalms Chapter 16
Exaudi, Domine, justitiam.
A just man's prayer in tribulation against the malice of his enemy.
16:1. The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
16:2. Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
16:3. Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
16:4. That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
16:5. Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
16:6. I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
16:7. Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
