Psalm 17

A Prayer of David. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:1} Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:2} Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:4} Concerning the words of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:5} Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:6} I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:8} Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:9} From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] compass me about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:10} They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:11} They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:12} Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:13} Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 17:15} As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
