Psalms 17:1-6

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (16-1) <The prayer of David.> Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.

2 (16-2) Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.

3 (16-3) Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.

4 (16-4) That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.

5 (16-5) Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.

6 (16-6) I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and 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.
