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!  

 

 

--
