(Psa 17:1) Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, {that goeth} not out of feigned lips.
(Psa 17:2) Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
(Psa 17:3) Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited {me} in the night; thou hast tried me, {and} shalt find nothing; I am purposed {that} my mouth shall not transgress.
(Psa 17:4) Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept {me from} the paths of the destroyer.
(Psa 17:5) Hold up my goings in thy paths, {that} my footsteps slip not.
(Psa 17:6) I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, {and hear} my speech.
(Psa 17:7) Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust {in thee} from those that rise up {against them}.
(Psa 17:8) Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
(Psa 17:9) From the wicked that oppress me, {from} my deadly enemies, {who} compass me about.
(Psa 17:10) They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
(Psa 17:11) They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
(Psa 17:12) Like as a lion {that} is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
(Psa 17:13) Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, {which is} thy sword:
(Psa 17:14) From men {which are} thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, {which have} their portion in {this} life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid {treasure}: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their {substance} to their babes.
(Psa 17:15) As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
