Psalms Chapter 17

Young's Literal Translation

   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!
