Psalms 17
A prayer of David.
1HearH8085, O LORDH3068, my righteous pleaH6664;listenH7181 to my cryH7440.Give earH238 to my prayerH8605—it comes from lipsH8193 free ofH3808 deceitH4820.2May my vindicationH4941 comeH3318 from Your presenceH6440;may Your eyesH5869 seeH2372 what is rightH4339.
3You have triedH974 my heartH3820;You have visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915.You have tested meH6884 and foundH4672 noH1077 evil;I have resolvedH2161 notH1077 to sinH5674 with my mouthH6310.4As for the deedsH6468 of menH120—by the wordH1697 of Your lipsH8193IH589 have avoidedH8104 the waysH734 of the violentH6530.5My stepsH838 have heldH8551 to Your pathsH4570;my feetH6471 have notH1077 slippedH4131.
6IH589 call on YouH7121, O GodH410,forH3588 You will answer meH6030.InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me;hearH8085 my wordsH565.7Show the wondersH6395 of Your loving devotionH2617,You who saveH3467 by Your right handH3225those who seek refugeH2620 from their foesH6965.8Keep meH8104 as the appleH380 ofH13231 Your eyeH5869;hide meH5641 in the shadowH6738 of Your wingsH36719fromH6440 the wickedH7563 whoH2098 assail meH7703,from my mortalH5315 enemiesH341 who surround meH5362H5921.
10They have closedH5462 their callousH2459 hearts;their mouthsH6310 speakH1696 with arroganceH1348.11They have tracked us downH838, and nowH6258 surround usH5437;their eyesH5869 are setH7896 to castH5186 us to the groundH776,12like a lionH738 greedyH3700 for preyH2963,like a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in ambushH4565.
13AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, confrontH6923 themH6440!Bring them to their kneesH3766;deliverH6403 meH5315 from the wickedH7563 by Your swordH2719,14from such menH4962, O LORDH3068, by Your handH3027—from menH4962 of the worldH2465whose portionH2506 is in this lifeH2416.May You fillH4390 the belliesH990 of Your treasuredH6840 ones2 and satisfyH7646 their sonsH1121,so they leaveH5117 their abundanceH3499 to their childrenH5768.
