Psalms 17:1-8

1HearH8085 the rightH6664, O YhwhH3068, attendH7181 unto my cryH7440, give earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth notH3808 out of feignedH4820 lipsH8193.12

2Let my sentenceH4941 come forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440; let thine eyesH5869 beholdH2372 the things that are equalH4339.

3Thou hast provedH974 mine heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915; thou hast triedH6884 me, and shalt findH4672 nothing; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674.

4Concerning the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 me from the pathsH734 of the destroyerH6530.

5Hold upH8551 my goingsH838 in thy pathsH4570, that my footstepsH6471 slipH4131 not.3

6I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt hearH6030 me, O GodH410: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speechH565.

7Shew thy marvellousH6395 lovingkindnessH2617, O thou that savestH3467 by thy right handH3225 them which put their trustH2620 in thee from those that rise upH6965 against them.4

8KeepH8104 me as the appleH380 of the eyeH5869H1323, hideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,
