Psalm 17

1 A Prayer8605 of David.1732 Hear8085 the right,6664 O LORD,3068 attend7181 to my cry,7440 give ear238 to my prayer,8605 that goes not out of feigned4820 lips.8193

2 Let my sentence4941 come3318 forth3318 from your presence;6440 let your eyes5869 behold2372 the things that are equal.4339

3 You have proved974 my heart;3820 you have visited6485 me in the night;3915 you have tried6884 me, and shall find4672 nothing;1077 I am purposed2161 that my mouth6310 shall not transgress.5674

4 Concerning the works6468 of men,120 by the word1697 of your lips8193 I have kept8104 me from the paths734 of the destroyer.6530

5 Hold8551 up my goings838 in your paths,4570 that my footsteps6471 slip4131 not.

6 I have called7121 on you, for you will hear6030 me, O God:410 incline5186 your ear241 to me, and hear8085 my speech.565

7 Show your marvelous6395 loving kindness,2617 O you that save3467 by your right3225 hand3225 them which put their trust2620 in you from those that rise6965 up against them.

8 Keep8104 me as the apple380 1323 of the eye,5869 hide5641 me under the shadow6738 of your wings,3671

9 From the wicked7563 that oppress7703 me, from my deadly5315 enemies,341 who compass5362 me about.

10 They are enclosed5462 in their own fat:2459 with their mouth6310 they speak1696 proudly.1348

11 They have now6258 compassed5437 us in our steps:838 they have set7896 their eyes5869 bowing5186 down5186 to the earth;776

12 Like1825 as a lion738 that is greedy3700 of his prey,2963 and as it were a young3715 lion3715 lurking3427 in secret4565 places.

13 Arise,6965 O LORD,3068 disappoint6923 him, cast3766 him down:3766 deliver6403 my soul5315 from the wicked,7563 which is your sword:2719

14 From men4962 which are your hand,3027 O LORD,3068 from men4962 of the world,2465 which have their portion2506 in this life,2416 and whose belly990 you fill4390 with your hid6845 treasure: they are full7646 of children,1121 and leave5117 the rest3499 of their substance to their babes.5768

15 As for me, I will behold2372 your face6440 in righteousness:6664 I shall be satisfied,7646 when I awake,6974 with your likeness.8544

Psalms

Psalm 17

1 HEAR, O Holy LORD, and consider my supplication; give ear unto my prayer that proceedeth not out of deceitful lips.

2 Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are just.

3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and thou hast not found iniquity in me; nothing hath come out of my mouth which is according to the deceitful works of men.

4 Through the conversation of my lips thou hast kept me from evil ways.

5 Thou hast strengthened my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

6 I have called upon thee, for thou hast heard me. O God, incline thine ear unto me and hear my words.

7 Make thy Holy One a wonder and a Saviour to those who trust; but let him prevail against those that rise up against thy right hand.

8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; protect me under the shadow of thy wings,

9 From the sinners who plunder me, from the enemies of my soul who surround me.

10 Silence their mouth, for they have spoken vanity.

11 They have praised me, and now have surrounded me; they have determined to bury me in the ground.

12 They are like a lion that is eager to prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, O LORD, humble them; cast them down; deliver my soul from the wicked and from the sword,

14 From the dead that die by thy hand, O LORD; and from the dead of the grave, divide their possessions among the living; fill their belly with thy treasure, so that their children are satisfied and have a portion remaining for their own children.

15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when thy worship is revived.
