Psalms 17
A Prayer of David.
1HearH8085 the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cryH7440;GiveH238 earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth not out of feigned lipsH8193.2Let my sentenceH4941 comeH3318 forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440;Let thine eyesH5869 look upon equity.3Thou hast proved my heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915;Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing;I am purposed that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674.4As for the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193I have keptH8104 me from the waysH734 of the violentH6530.5My steps have heldH8551 fastH8551 to thy paths,My feet have not slippedH4131.6I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt answerH6030 me, O GodH410:InclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speech.7Show thy marvellous lovingkindness,O thou that savest by thy rightH3225 handH3225 them that takeH2620 refugeH2620 in theeFrom those that riseH6965 upagainst them.8KeepH8104 me as the apple of the eyeH5869;HideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,9From the wickedH7563 that oppress me,My deadly enemiesH341, that compass me about.10They are inclosed in their own fatH2459:With their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudly.11They have nowH6258 compassed us in our stepsH838;They setH7896 their eyesH5869 to castusdownH5186 to the earthH776.12He is like a lionH738 that is greedy of his prey,And as it were a youngH3715 lionH738 lurking in secretH4565 placesH4565.13AriseH6965, O Jehovah,ConfrontH6923 him, cast him downH3766:DeliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563 by thy swordH2719;14From men by thy handH3027, O Jehovah,From men of the worldH2465, whose portionH2506 is inthislifeH2416,And whose bellyH990 thou fillest with thy treasure:They are satisfiedH7646 with children,And leave the restH3499 of their substance to their babes.15As for me, I shall beholdH2372 thy faceH6440 in righteousnessH6664;I shall be satisfiedH7646, when I awake, with beholding thy formH8544.
