Psalms 17
1
Hear, LORD, my righteous plea.
2
Let my sentence come out of your presence.
3
You have proved my heart.
4
As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips,
5
My steps have held fast to your paths.
6
I have called on you, for you will answer me, God.
7
Show your marvelous loving kindness,
8
Keep me as the apple of your eye.
9
from the wicked who oppress me,
10
They close up their callous hearts.
11
They have now surrounded us in our steps.
12
He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,
13
Arise, LORD, confront him.
14
from men by your hand, LORD,
15
As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness.
