Chapter 17

1

 

 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 

 

 


2

 

 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal. 

 

 


3

 

 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 

 

 


4

 

 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 

 

 


5

 

 Uphold my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 

 

 


6

 

 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, and hear my speech. 

 

 


7

 

 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 

 

 


8

 

 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings. 

 

 


9

 

 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who encompass me, 

 

 


10

 

 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 

 

 


11

 

 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 

 

 


12

 

 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 

 

 


13

 

 Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, who is thy sword: 

 

 


14

 

 From men who are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 

 

 


15

 

 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
