Psalm 17
Darby Bible
A Prayer of David.
1HearH8085 the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cryH7440; giveH238 earH238 unto my prayerH8605, which is not out of feigned lipsH8193.2Let my judgmentH4941 comeH3318 forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440, let thine eyesH5869 regard equity.3Thou hast proved my heartH3820, thou hast visitedH6485 me by nightH3915; thou hast tried me, thou hast foundH4672 nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.4Concerning the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 from the pathsH734 of the violentH6530 [manH120].5When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footstepsH6471 slipH4131 not.6I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou answerest me, O 1GodH410. InclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, hearH8085 my speech.7Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy rightH3225 handH3225 them that trust [in thee] from those that riseH6965 up [against them].8KeepH8104 me as the apple of the eyeH5869, hideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,9From the wickedH7563 that destroyH7703 me, my deadly enemiesH341, who compass me about.10They are enclosed in their own fatH2459; with their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudly.11They have nowH6258 encompassed us in our stepsH838; their eyesH5869 have they setH7896, bowing downH5186 to the earthH776.12He is like a lionH738 that is greedy of its prey, and as a youngH3715 lionH738 lurking in secretH4565 placesH4565.13AriseH6965, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, thy swordH2719;14From men [who are] thy handH3027, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portionH2506 is in [this] lifeH2416, and their bellyH990 thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]; they have their fillH4390 of sonsH1121, and leave the restH3499 of their [substance] to their children.15As for me, I will beholdH2372 thy faceH6440 in righteousnessH6664; I shall be satisfiedH7646, when I awake, with thy likeness.
