17:1
Listen, O LORD, to my plea for justice; pay attention to my cry for help!
Listen to my honest prayer. |
17:2
You will judge in my favor, because you know what is right. |
17:3
You know my heart. You have come to me at night; you have examined me
completely and found no evil desire in me. I speak no evil, |
17:4
as others do; I have obeyed your command and have not followed paths of
violence. |
17:5
I have always walked in your way and have never strayed from it. |
17:6
I pray to you, O God, because you answer me; so turn to me and listen to my
words. |
17:7
Reveal your wonderful love and save me; at your side I am safe from my
enemies. |
17:8
Protect me as you would your very eyes; hide me in the shadow of your wings |
17:9
from the attacks of the wicked. Deadly enemies surround me; |
17:10
they have no pity and speak proudly. |
17:11
They are around me now, wherever I turn, watching for a chance to pull me
down. |
17:12
They are like lions, waiting for me, wanting to tear me to pieces. |
17:13
Come, LORD! Oppose my enemies and defeat them! Save me from the wicked by
your sword; |
17:14
save me from those who in this life have all they want. Punish them with the
sufferings you have stored up for them; may there be enough for their
children and some left over for their children's children! |
17:15
But I will see you, because I have done no wrong; and when I awake, your
presence will fill me with joy. |
