Psalms 17

1 David, in confidence of his integrity, craveth defence of God against his enemies. 10 He sheweth their pride, craft, and eagerness. 13 He prayeth against them in confidence of his hope.

 17:1 ¶ [[A Prayer of David.]] Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.

 17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.

 17:3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I have purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.

 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.

 17:5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.

 17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, [and hear] my speech.

 17:7 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].

 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.

 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] encompass me,

 17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

 17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

 17:12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

 17:13 Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [who is] thy sword:

 17:14 From men [who are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, [who 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.

 17:15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
