Psalms 17
1
Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
2
Let your eyes look on equity.
3
I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
4
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5
My feet have not slipped.
6
Hear my speech.
7
you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8
Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9
my deadly enemies, who surround me.
10
With their mouth they speak proudly.
11
They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12
as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;
14
and they store up wealth for their children.
15
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
