See how the sinful man thinks up sins and plans trouble and lies start growing inside him.

Have pity on me, O Lord! See how I suffer from those who hate me, You Who have lifted me up from the gates of death,

His ways always go well for him. Your laws are too high for him to see. He laughs at those who hate him.

He says to himself, "God has forgotten. He has hidden His face and will never see it."

The Lord is in His holy house. The Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes see as He tests the sons of men.

For the Lord is right and good. He loves what is right and good. And those who are right with Him will see His face.

The Lord has looked down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there are any who understand and look for God.

May You decide in my favor. May Your eyes see what is right.

As for me, I will see Your face in what is right and good. I will be happy to see You when I awake.

Who can see his own mistakes? Forgive my sins that I do not see.

All who see me make fun of me. They open their mouths and shake their heads, and say,

They divide my clothes among them by drawing names to see who would get them.

I would have been without hope if I had not believed that I would see the loving-kindness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Because of all those who hate me, I have become a shame to my neighbors. Even my friends do not want to be with me. Those who see me on the street run from me.

See, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, and on those who hope for His loving-kindness,

O taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who trusts in Him!

Who is the man who has a desire for life, and wants to live long so that he may see good things?

Let them call out for joy and be glad, who want to see the right thing done for me. Let them always say, "May the Lord be honored. He is pleased when all is going well for His servant."

All life came from You. In Your light we see light.

Wait for the Lord. Keep His way. And He will give you a high place to receive the land. When the sinful are cut off, you will see it.
