Psalms 17
- 1Hear the right, O Lord, attend to my cry, listen to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.
- 2Let my judgment come from your presence. Let your eyes see what is right.
- 3You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and shall find nothing. I have decided that my mouth shall not sin.
- 4Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
- 5Hold up my steps in your paths, that my footsteps do not slip.
- 6I have called on you, for you will hear me, O God: listen closely to me, and hear my speech.
- 7Show your marvelous faithful love, O you that save by your right hand those who put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
- 8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
- 9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who close in around me.
- 10They are closed up in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
- 11They have now surrounded us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
- 12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
- 13Arise, O Lord, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
- 14From men which are your hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
- 15As for me, I will see your face in righteousness. When I awake, I will be satisfied with your likeness.
