Psalms 17

1 A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.

A prayer of David hear! O Yahweh - righteousness pay attention to! cry of entreaty my give ear to! prayer my with not lips of deceit.

2 Let my judgement come forth from your presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.

From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.

3 You has proved mine heart; you have visited [me] by night; you have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].

You have tested heart my - you have visited night you have tested me not you will find I have resolved not it will transgress mouth my.

4 As for the works of men, by the words of your lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.

To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].

5 Direct my steps in your paths, that my steps slip not.

They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.

6 I have cried, for you heard me, O God: incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.

I I call out to you for you will answer me O God incline ear your to me hear utterance my.

7 Show the marvels of your mercies, you that save them that hope in you.

Make wonderful covenant loyalti your O deliverer of [those who] take refuge from [those who] rise up by right [hand] your.

8 Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist your right hand: you shall screen me by the covering of your wings,

Keep me like [the] pupil of [the] daughter of an eye in [the] shadow of wings your you will hide me.

9 from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.

From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.

10 They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.

Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.

11 They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.

Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.

12 They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret [places].

Likeness his [is] like a lion [which] it longs to tear to pieces and like a young lion [which] sits in hiding places.

13 Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] your sword,

Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.

14 because of the enemies of your hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with your hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.

From men hand your - O Yahweh from men from [the] world [whom] portion their [is] in the life (and treasured [thing] your *Q(K)*) you fill belly their they are satisfied sons and they leave abundance their to children their.

15 But I shall appear in righteousness before your face: I shall be satisfied when your glory appears.

I in righteousness I will see face your I will be satisfied when awake likeness your.
