Chapter 17

1

 

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

 

 


2

 

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

 

 


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. 

 

 


4

 

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

 

 


5

 

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

 

 


6

 

  I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech. 

 

 


7

 

  Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders. 

 

 


8

 

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

 

 


9

 

  From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me. 

 

 


10

 

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

 

 


11

 

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

 

 


12

 

  His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places. 

 

 


13

 

  Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword, 

 

 


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. 

 

 


15

 

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