Psalms 17:1-6

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Hear my plea for justice, O LORD. Pay attention to my cry. Open your ears to my prayer, [which comes] from lips free from deceit.

2 Let the verdict of my innocence come directly from you. Let your eyes observe what is fair.

3 You have probed my heart. You have confronted me at night. You have tested me like silver, but you found nothing wrong. I have determined that my mouth will not sin.

4 I have avoided cruelty because of your word. In spite of what others have done,

5 my steps have remained firmly in your paths. My feet have not slipped.

6 I have called on you because you answer me, O God. Turn your ear toward me. Hear what I have to say.

New International Version NIV

1 Hear me, LORD, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips.

2 Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.

3 Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed.

4 Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.

5 My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.

6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
