Psalms 17:1-6

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 O Yahweh, hear a just cause. Hear my cry; heed my prayer [I make] without deceitful lips.

2 Let my vindication come forth from you; let your eyes see fairness.

3 You have tried my heart; you have examined [me] by night; you have tested me; you found nothing. I have decided [that] my mouth will not transgress.

4 As for [the] works of humankind, by the word of your lips, I have kept [from] the ways of [the] violent.

5 [I have] held my steps in your path My feet will not slip.

6 As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your 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.
