Psalm 17
In the Shadow of Your Wings
A Prayer of David.
1Hear a righteous cause, O Yahweh, give heed to my cry of lamentation;
Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2May my #17:2 Vindicationjudgment come from Your presence;
May Your eyes behold what is upright.
3You have tested my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have tried me and You find #17:3 Or no evil device in me; My mouthnothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not #17:3 Lit trespasstransgress.
4As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the paths of the violent.
5My steps have held fast to Your #17:5 Lit trackspaths.
My footsteps have not stumbled.
6¶I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7Marvelously show Your lovingkindnesses,
O Savior of those who take refuge #17:7 Or from those who rise up...at Your right handat Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
8Keep me as #17:8 Lit the pupil, the daughter of the eyethe apple of the eye;
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9From the wicked who devastate me,
My deadly enemies who surround me.
10They have closed their #17:10 Lit fatunfeeling heart,
With their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.
12He is like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.
13¶Arise, O Yahweh, confront him, bring him low;
Protect my soul from the wicked with Your sword,
14From men with Your hand, O Yahweh,
From men #17:14 Or whose portion in life is of the worldof the world, whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their excess to their infants.
15As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness;
I will be satisfied #17:15 Or with beholdingwith Your likeness when I awake.
