< Psalms 17 >
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer, which is not out of feigned 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 judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.
From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.
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 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent [man].
To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].
5 When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.
They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, O God. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
I I call out to you for you will answer me O God incline ear your to me hear utterance my.
7 Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
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, hide me under the shadow of thy 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 wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.
11 They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.
Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking 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, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;
Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in [this] life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their children.
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 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
I in righteousness I will see face your I will be satisfied when awake likeness your.
