Psa.|17:Title|-|A Prayer |a|of David
Psa.|17:1|-||1|Hear, O Jehovah, what is righteous;Give heed to my cry;
Give ear to my prayer,Which is not made with lips of deceit.
Psa.|17:2|-|May a judgment for me come forth from Your presence;May Your eyes regard equity.
Psa.|17:3|-|You have |a|examined my heart; You have visited me by night;You have |b|tried me: You have found nothing.
I have resolved that my mouth will not transgress.
Psa.|17:4|-|Regarding the works of man, by the word of Your lips,I have kept myself from the paths of the violent man.
Psa.|17:5|-|My steps have held fast to Your |a|tracks;My footsteps have not slipped.
Psa.|17:6|-|I call on You, for You will answer me, O God;Incline Your ear to me; hear my speaking.
Psa.|17:7|-|Wondrously display Your |1|lovingkindness,You who save by Your right hand
Those who take |a|refuge in You from them who rise up against them.
Psa.|17:8|-|Guard me like the |a|pupil of Your eye;In the |b|shadow of Your wings hide me
Psa.|17:9|-|From the presence of the wicked who oppress me,From my deadly enemies, who close in upon me.
Psa.|17:10|-|They have shut up their fat hearts;With their mouths they speak arrogantly.
Psa.|17:11|-|Now they have surrounded |1|us in our steps;They have fixed their eyes on casting us down to the ground.
Psa.|17:12|-|He is like a lion that is eager to tear,And like a young lion lurking in hidden places.
Psa.|17:13|-|Arise, O Jehovah, |1|confront him; bring him down.With Your sword rescue my soul from the wicked man,
Psa.|17:14|-|From mortal men with Your hand, O Jehovah,From mortal men of the world, whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;They are satisfied with children,
And they leave their abundance for their little ones.
Psa.|17:15|-|As for me, in |1|righteousness I will behold Your face;When I |a|awake, I will be satisfied with Your |1b|likeness.
