Psalms 17

1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.

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 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.

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

3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

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 to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

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

5 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.

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

6 I — I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to 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 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

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, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.

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 wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

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

10 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:

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

11 'Our steps now have compassed [him];' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

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

12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion 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 Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. 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, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

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 I — in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form!

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