Psalms 17:1-6

1 Lord, hear me begging for fairness; listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, because I speak the truth.

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

2 You will judge that I am right; your eyes can see what is true.

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

3 You have examined my heart; you have tested me all night. You questioned me without finding anything wrong; I have not sinned with my mouth.

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 I have obeyed your commands, so I have not done what evil people do.

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

5 I have done what you told me; I have not failed.

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

6 I call to you, God, and you answer me. Listen to me now, and hear what I say.

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