Psalms 17:1-6

1 Listen to what's right, LORD; pay attention to my cry! Listen closely to my prayer; it's spoken by lips that don't lie!

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

2 My justice comes from you; let your eyes see what is right!

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

3 You have examined my heart, testing me at night. You've looked me over closely, but haven't found anything wrong. My mouth doesn't sin.

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 But these other people's deeds? I have avoided such violent ways by the command from your lips.

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 are set firmly on your paths; my feet haven't slipped.

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

6 I cry out to you because you answer me. So tilt your ears toward me now— listen to what I'm saying!

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