Psalm 17 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 17

17:1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my

prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes

behold the things that are equal.

17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night;

thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my

mouth shall not transgress.

17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept

me from the paths of the destroyer.

17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline

thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

17:7 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.

17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy

wings,

17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who

compass me about.

17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak

proudly.

17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their

eyes bowing down to the earth;

17:12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a

young lion lurking in secret places.

17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul

from the wicked, which is thy sword:

17:14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, 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.

17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be

satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
