Psalms 17

17
PSALM 17
1 The prayer of David. Lord, hear thou my rightfulness; behold thou my prayer. Perceive thou with ears my prayer; not made in guileful lips.
2My doom come forth of thy cheer; thine eyes see they equity.
3Thou hast proved mine heart, and hast visited me in [the] night; thou hast examined, or assayed, me by fire, and wickedness is not found in me.
4That my mouth speak not of the works of men; for the words of thy lips I have kept hard ways.
5Make thou perfect my goings in thy paths; that my steps be not moved.
6I cried, for thou, God, heardest me; bow down thy ear to me, and hear thou my words.
7Make wonderful thy mercies; that makest safe them that hope in thee.
8Keep thou me as the apple of thine eye; and from them that against-stand thy right hand. Cover thou me under the shadow of thy wings;
9from the face of unpious men, that have tormented me. Mine enemies have encompassed my soul;
10they have closed together their fatness; the mouth of them spake pride.
11They casted me forth, and have en-compassed me now; they ordained to bow down their eyes into [the] earth.
12They, as a lion made ready to his prey, have taken me; and as the whelp of a lion dwelling in hid places.
13Lord, rise thou up, before come thou him, and deceive or overturn thou him; deliver thou my life from the unpious, deliver thou thy sword;
14from the enemies of thine hand. Lord, part thou them from a few men of the land in the life of them; their womb is [full-]filled of thine hid things. They be [full-]filled with sons; and they left their remnants, either residue, to their little children.
15But I in rightfulness [or rightwise-ness] shall appear to thy sight; I shall be [ful] filled, when thy glory shall appear.
