NASB Bible

Psalms 17

A Prayer of David.

1

Hear a  ajust cause, O LORD,  bgive heed to my cry;  cGive ear to my prayer, which is not from  ddeceitful lips.

2

Let  amy  1judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with  bequity.

3

You have  atried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have  btested me and  cYou find  1nothing; I have  dpurposed that my mouth will not transgress.

4

As for the deeds of men,  aby the word of Your lips I have kept from the  bpaths of the violent.

5

My  asteps have held fast to Your  1paths. My  bfeet have not slipped.

6

I have  acalled upon You, for You will answer me, O God;  bIncline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

7

 aWondrously show Your lovingkindness, O  bSavior of those who take refuge  1at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.

8

Keep me as  1the  aapple of the eye; Hide me  bin the shadow of Your wings

9

From the  awicked who despoil me, My  bdeadly enemies who surround me.

10

They have  aclosed their  1unfeeling heart, With their mouth they  bspeak proudly.

11

They have now  asurrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes  bto cast us down to the ground.

12

He is  alike a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion  blurking in hiding places.

13

 aArise, O LORD, confront him,  bbring him low;  cDeliver my soul from the wicked with  dYour sword,

14

From men with  aYour hand, O LORD, From men  1of the world,  bwhose portion is in this life, And whose belly You  cfill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes.

15

As for me, I shall  abehold Your face in righteousness;  bI will be satisfied  1with Your  clikeness when I awake.
