< Psalms 17 >

1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
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 sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
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 workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
I I call out to you for you will answer me O God incline ear your to me hear utterance my.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Make wonderful covenant loyalti your O deliverer of [those who] take refuge from [those who] rise up by right [hand] your.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe 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 oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp 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 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for 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 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
I in righteousness I will see face your I will be satisfied when awake likeness your.
