Psalms 17:1-8

1HearH8085 the rightH6664, O LORDH3068, attend unto my cryH7440; giveH238 earH238 unto my prayerH8605, that goeth notH3808 out of feigned lipsH8193.

2Let my sentenceH4941 comeH3318 forthH3318 from thy presenceH6440; let thine eyesH5869 lookH5869 uponH2372 equityH4339.

3Thou hast provedH974 mine heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 meH4672 in the nightH3915; thou hast triedH974 meH4672, and findest nothingH1077; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall notH1077 transgressH5674.

4As for the worksH6468 of menH120, by the wordH1697 of thy lipsH8193 I have keptH8104 meH589 from the waysH734 of the violentH6530.

5My stepsH6471 have heldH8551 fastH8551 to thy pathsH4570, my feetH6471 have notH1077 slippedH4131.

6I have calledH7121 uponH7121 thee, for thou wilt answerH6030 meH7121, O GodH410: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto meH7121, and hearH8085 my speech.

7Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust in thee from thoseH3467 that riseH6965 upH6965 against them, by thy rightH3225 handH3225.

8KeepH8104 meH5641 as the appleH380 of the eyeH5869, hideH5641 meH5641 under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,
