Psalms 17:1-6

1 Hear a just cause, O LORD , give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.

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 judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity.

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

3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

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 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.

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 fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.

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

6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

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