Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Yahweh, hear a righteous cause; attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer that does not come from deceitful lips.
2. Let my judgment come forth from before you; let your eyes behold equity.
3. You have tested my heart; you have searched me in the night; you have refined me, and you find nothing. I have resolved that my mouth will not transgress.
4. Concerning men's deeds, by the word of your lips I have guarded myself from the destroyer's paths.
5. Hold my steps in your paths, lest my feet slip.
6. I have called to you, for you will answer me, God. Lean your ear toward me; hear my words.
7. Show your wondrous mercies, you who deliver those seeking refuge by your right hand from those rising against them.
8. Protect me like the pupil of your eye; hide me in the shade of your wings.
9. from the wicked who destroy me, my enemies who surround my life.
10. They close up their fat; with their mouth they speak haughtily.
11. Now they surround our steps and close in on us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12. Like a lion eager to tear its prey, like a young lion lurking in secret places.
13. Arise, Yahweh, meet him face-to-face; bring him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked with your sword.
14. From men by your hand, Yahweh—from men of the world whose portion is in this life, with your hidden treasures you fill their bellies; they are full of sons and leave their surplus to their little children.
15. I will behold your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with your likeness when I awake.
