Psalms, psalm 17
Compare with Revised Standard Version: Psal.017
1: Hear the right, O JAH, attend unto my cry, give
ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2: Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold
the things that are equal.
3: Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou
has tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall
not transgress.
4: Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
me from the paths of the destroyer.
5: Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6: I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O JAH: incline thine
ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7: Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right
hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against
them.
8: Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy
wings,
9: From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass
me about.
10: They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak
proudly.
11: They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes
bowing down to the earth;
12: Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young
lion lurking in secret places.
13: Arise, O JAH, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from
the wicked, which is thy sword:
14: From men which are thy hand, O JAH, from men of the world, which
have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy
hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance
to their babes.
15: As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
