Psalm 17:1-6

1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.

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

2 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.

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

3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

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 to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a 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 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.

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

6 I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

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