Psalm 17
|
|
| 17:1
Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that
goeth not out of feigned lips. |
|
| 17:2
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the
things that are equal. |
|
| 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast
tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not
transgress. |
|
| 17:4
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from
the paths of the destroyer. |
God's lips
|
| 17:5
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. |
|
| 17:6
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear
unto me, and hear my speech. |
|
| 17:7
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand
them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. |
|
| 17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, |
|
| 17:9
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me
about. |
|
| 17:10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. |
|
| 17:11
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing
down to the earth; |
|
| 17:12
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion
lurking in secret places. |
|
| 17:13
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the
wicked, which is thy sword: |
|
| 17:14
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which 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. |
|
| 17:15
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied,
when I awake, with thy likeness.
