Psalms 17:8
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Hear the right,
O
L
ORD
, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer,
that goeth
not out of feigned lips.
2
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
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.
4
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
me from
the paths of the destroyer.
5
Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that
my footsteps slip not.
6
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me,
and hear
my speech.
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
.
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9
From the wicked that oppress me,
from
my deadly enemies,
who
compass me about.
10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12
Like as a lion
that
is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13
Arise, O
L
ORD
, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked,
which is
thy sword:
14
From men
which are
thy hand, O
L
ORD
, 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.
15
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
