Psalms 17:1-7

KJV

NIV

1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned 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 sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
2 Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
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 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
4 Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
5 My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
7 Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
