Psalms 17:1-6

1 A prayer of David: Hear a just cause, ADONAI, heed my cry; listen to my prayer from honest 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 vindication come 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 probed my heart, you visited me at night, and you assayed me without finding evil thoughts that should not pass my lips.

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 what others do, by words from your lips I have kept myself from the ways 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 hold steadily to your paths, my feet do not slip.

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

6 Now I call on you, God, for you will answer me. Turn your ear to me, hear my words.

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