Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
The prayer is a humble and sincere committing of one's case to God in His work, asking Him to hear a just cause, to attend to the cry, and to decide what is right by judging fairly in truth and righteousness. The words about lips that are not feigned mean the prayer is honest and without deceit or hypocrisy, going forth from sincere lips. In making that appeal it opens the heart and conduct to examination while asking God to judge justly.
Those who pray in this way can in faith trust and believe that God cares and hears. God hearkens to such humble, sincere prayer, and the prayer itself stands as an example of trusting God. Through such humble prayer strength from above is gained.
When people humbly and wholeheartedly tell God what they need, their prayers are recorded. When they are in danger of doing wrong, an angel may guide their words and actions toward a better course. So it is with young people who humbly make their needs known to God and ask for strength; when they are in danger of doing wrong or of leading others astray, a guardian angel prompts them toward a better course and influences their words and actions. When resentment rises, a person should withdraw and pray to God honestly.
