Psalms 17 — LSV

17Verse 1A PRAYER OF DAVID. Hear, O YHWH, righteousness, attend my cry, || Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.^{Verse 2}My judgment goes out from before You; Your eyes see uprightly.^{Verse 3}You have proved my heart, || You have inspected by night, || You have tried me, You find nothing; My thoughts do not pass over my mouth.^{Verse 4}As for doings of man, || Through a word of Your lips I have observed || The paths of a destroyer;^{Verse 5}To uphold my goings in Your paths, || My steps have not slipped.^{Verse 6}I called You, for You answer me, || O God, incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.^{Verse 7}Separate Your kindness wonderfully, O Savior of the confiding, || By Your right hand, from withstanders.^{Verse 8}Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings,^{Verse 9}From the face of the wicked who spoiled me, || [From] my enemies in soul who go around against me.^{Verse 10}They have closed up their fat, || Their mouths have spoken with pride:^{Verse 11}“Our steps have now surrounded [him]”; They set their eyes to turn aside in the land.^{Verse 12}His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, || As a young lion dwelling in secret places.^{Verse 13}Arise, O YHWH, go before his face, || Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Your sword,^{Verse 14}From men, Your hand, O YHWH, || From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, || And [with] Your hidden things You fill their belly, || They are satisfied [with] sons, || And have left their abundance to their sucklings.^{Verse 15}I—in righteousness, || I see Your face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Your form!
