Psalms 17 (NET) New English Translation

1 A prayer of David. LORD, consider my just cause! Pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to the prayer I sincerely offer!
2 Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!
3 You have scrutinized my inner motives; you have examined me during the night. You have carefully evaluated me, but you find no sin. I am determined I will say nothing sinful.
4 As for the actions of people— just as you have commanded, I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men.
5 I carefully obey your commands; I do not deviate from them.
6 I call to you for you will answer me, O God. Listen to me! Hear what I say!
7 Accomplish awesome, faithful deeds, you who powerfully deliver those who look to you for protection from their enemies.
8 Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!
9 Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill.
10 They are calloused; they speak arrogantly.
11 They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground.
12 He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.
13 Rise up, LORD! Confront him! Knock him down! Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man!
14 LORD, use your power to deliver me from these murderers, from the murderers of this world! They enjoy prosperity; you overwhelm them with the riches they desire. They have many children, and leave their wealth to their offspring.
15 As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face; when I awake you will reveal yourself to me.
1 A Prayer H8605 of David H1732 L-NAME . Hear H8085 VQI2MS-3FS the right H6664 NMS , O LORD H3068 EDS attend H7181 unto my cry H7440 , give ear H238 VHI2MS-3FS unto my prayer H8605 , that goeth not H3808 B-NPAR out of feigned H4820 NFS lips H8193 .
2 Let my sentence H4941 CMS-1MS come forth H3318 VQY3MS from thy presence H6440 ; let thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS behold H2372 the things that are equal H4339 .
3 Thou hast proved H974 mine heart H3820 NMS-1MS ; thou hast visited H6485 me in the night H3915 ; thou hast tried H6884 me , and shalt find H4672 VQY2MS nothing H1077 ; I am purposed H2161 that my mouth H6310 shall not H1077 ADV transgress H5674 .
4 Concerning the works H6468 of men H120 NMS , by the word H1697 of thy lips H8193 I H589 PPRO-1MS have kept H8104 VQQ1MS me from the paths H734 CFP of the destroyer H6530 .
5 Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths H4570 , that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not H1077 ADV .
6 I H589 have called upon H7121 thee , for H3588 thou wilt hear H6030 VQY2MS-1MS me , O God H410 EDS : incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto me , and hear H8085 VQI2MS my speech H565 .
7 Show thy marvelous lovingkindness H2617 , O thou that savest H3467 by thy right hand H3225 them which put their trust H2620 in thee from those that rise up H6965 against them .
8 Keep H8104 me as the apple H380 of the eye H5869 NMS , hide H5641 me under the shadow H6738 of thy wings H3671 ,
9 From M-CMP the wicked H7563 AMP that H2098 oppress H7703 me , from my deadly H5315 B-CFS enemies H341 , who compass me about H5362 .
10 They are enclosed in H5462 their own fat H2459 : with their mouth H6310 they speak H1696 proudly H1348 .
11 They have now H6258 ADV compassed H5437 us in our steps H838 : they have set H7896 their eyes H5869 CMD-3MP bowing down H5186 to the earth H776 B-GFS ;
12 Like H1825 as a lion H738 that is greedy H3700 of his prey H2963 , and as it were a young lion H3715 lurking H3427 VQPMS in secret places H4565 .
13 Arise H6965 , O LORD H3068 EDS , disappoint H6923 him , cast him down H3766 : deliver H6403 my soul H5315 CFS-1MS from the wicked H7563 , which is thy sword H2719 :
14 From men H4962 which are thy hand H3027 CFS-2MS , O LORD H3068 EDS , from men H4962 of the world H2465 , which have their portion H2506 in this life H2416 , and whose belly H990 thou fillest H4390 with thy hid H6845 treasure : they are full H7646 VQY3MP of children H1121 NMP , and leave H5117 the rest H3499 CMS-3MP of their substance to their babes H5768 .
15 As for me H589 PPRO-1MS , I will behold H2372 VQY1MS thy face H6440 CMP-2MS in righteousness H6664 : I shall be satisfied H7646 , when I awake H6974 , with thy likeness H8544 .
