King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 17
1
A prayer for David. Hear, O Lord, righteousness; listen to my cry; give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2
Before You, my judgment will come forth; Your eyes will see what is right.
3
You tested my heart; you visited me by night; you refined me, and you found no evil in me; my mouth did not transgress.
4
By the actions of a man, through the words of your lips, I have kept the paths of the destroyer.
5
You will support me in your paths; I will not stumble.
6
I called you because you will answer me, O God; listen to my words.
7
You have distinguished your kindness, O Savior of those who take refuge in your right hand.
8
Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.
9
From before the wicked, their shadow surrounds me; my enemies encircle me in soul.
10
The fat of his mouth has closed; they have spoken in arrogance.
11
Blessed are we now, they surrounded me; their eyes were set to stretch upon the earth.
12
Like a lion, he desires to tear apart; like a young lion, he sits in hiding.
13
Arise, O Yahweh, advance before me; be my deliverance, rescue my soul from the wicked by Your sword.
14
From death, your hand, O Lord, from death, your portion in the living, and your treasures shall fill their bellies; they shall be satisfied with sons, and they shall leave their remnant for their children.
15
I will behold Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with Your likeness.
