Psalms 17 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2 From thee let my vindication come! Let thy eyes see the right!
3 If thou triest my heart, if thou visitest me by night, if thou testest me, thou wilt find no wickedness in me; my mouth does not transgress.
4 With regard to the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6 I call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God; incline thy ear to me, hear my words.
7 Wondrously show thy steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at thy right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of thy wings,
9 from the wicked who despoil me, my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11 They track me down; now they surround me; they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Arise, O LORD! confront them, overthrow them! Deliver my life from the wicked by thy sword,
14 from men by thy hand, O LORD, from men whose portion in life is of the world. May their belly be filled with what thou hast stored up for them; may their children have more than enough; may they leave something over to their babes.
15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with beholding thy form.
1 A Prayer H8605 of David. H1732 Hear H8085 the right, H6664 O LORD H3068 attend H7181 unto my cry, H7440 give ear H238 unto my prayer, H8605 that goeth not H3808 out of feigned H4820 lips. H8193
2 Let my sentence H4941 come forth H3318 from thy presence H4480 H6440 ; let thine eyes H5869 behold H2372 the things that are equal. H4339
3 Thou hast proved H974 mine heart; H3820 thou hast visited H6485 me in the night; H3915 thou hast tried H6884 me, and shalt find H4672 nothing; H1077 I am purposed H2161 that my mouth H6310 shall not H1077 transgress. H5674
4 Concerning the works H6468 of men, H120 by the word H1697 of thy lips H8193 I H589 have kept H8104 me from the paths H734 of the destroyer. H6530
5 Hold up H8551 my goings H838 in thy paths, H4570 that my footsteps H6471 slip H4131 not. H1077
6 I H589 have called upon H7121 thee, for H3588 thou wilt hear H6030 me , O God: H410 incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto me , and hear H8085 my speech. H565
7 Show thy marvelous lovingkindness H6395 H2617 , O thou that savest H3467 by thy right hand H3225 them which put their trust H2620 in thee from those that rise up H4480 H6965 against them .
8 Keep H8104 me as the apple H380 H1323 of the eye, H5869 hide H5641 me under the shadow H6738 of thy wings, H3671
9 From H4480 H6440 the wicked H7563 that H2098 oppress H7703 me, from my deadly H5315 enemies, H341 who compass me about H5362 H5921 .
10 They are enclosed in H5462 their own fat: H2459 with their mouth H6310 they speak H1696 proudly. H1348
11 They have now H6258 compassed H5437 us in our steps: H838 they have set H7896 their eyes H5869 bowing down H5186 to the earth; H776
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 in secret places. H4565
13 Arise H6965 , O LORD, H3068 disappoint H6923 H6440 him , cast him down: H3766 deliver H6403 my soul H5315 from the wicked H4480 H7563 , which is thy sword: H2719
14 From men H4480 H4962 which are thy hand, H3027 O LORD, H3068 from men H4480 H4962 of the world H4480 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 of children, H1121 and leave H5117 the rest H3499 of their substance to their babes. H5768
15 As for me, H589 I will behold H2372 thy face H6440 in righteousness: H6664 I shall be satisfied, H7646 when I awake, H6974 with thy likeness. H8544
