Psalms 17:1-6

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!

2 From thee let my vindication come! Let thy eyes see the right!

3 If thou triest my heart, if thou visitest me by night, if thou testest me, thou wilt find no wickedness in me; my mouth does not transgress.

4 With regard to the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

5 My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.

6 I call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God; incline thy ear to me, hear my words.

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.
