Psalms 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.
The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
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.
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.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, [and hear] my speech.
I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
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].
Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.
Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] encompass me,
From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [who is] thy sword:
Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
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.
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.
15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
