His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.

His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.

My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.

He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.

The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.

May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.

My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.

They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
