Psalm 17

- A Prayer of David.

Hear the right, O Lord, attend
unto my cry, give ear unto that

goeth not out of feigned lips.

Let my sentence come forth from
thy presence; let thine eyes

behold the things that are equal.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast
visited me in the night; thou hast tried

me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed
that my mouth shall not transgress.

Concerning the works of men, by
the word of thy lips I have kept

me from the paths of the destroyer.

Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that my footsteps slip not.

I have called upon thee, for
thou wilt hear me, O God: thine

ear unto me, and hear my speech.

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

From the wicked that oppress me, from
my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

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

They have now compassed us in
our steps: they have set their

eyes bowing down to the earth;

Like as a lion that is greedy of
his prey, and as it were a young

lion lurking in secret places.

Arise, O Lord, disappoint him,
cast him down: deliver my soul from

the wicked, which is thy sword:

From men which are thy hand, O Lord,
from men of the world, which 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.

As for me, I will behold thy face in
righteousness: I shall be satisfied,

when I awake, with thy likeness.
