Psalm 17

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Lord, hear a just cause; pay attention to my cry; listen to my prayer- from lips free of deceit.

2 Let my vindication come from You, [for] You see what is right.

3 You have tested my heart; You have visited by night; You have tried me and found nothing [evil]; I have determined that my mouth will not sin.

4 Concerning what people do: by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

5 My steps are on Your paths; my feet have not slipped.

6 I call on You, God, because You will answer me; listen closely to me; hear what I say.

7 Display the wonders of Your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel against Your right hand.

8 Guard me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

9 from the wicked who treat me violently, my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have become hardened; their mouths speak arrogantly.

11 They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw [me] to the ground.

12 They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Rise up, Lord! Confront him; bring him down. With Your sword, save me from the wicked.

14 With Your hand, Lord, [save me] from men, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store, their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.

15 But I will see Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence.

English Standard Version ESV

1 Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!

2 From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right!

3 You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

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

6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.

7 Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.

8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,

9 from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

11 They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

12 He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

14 from men by your hand, O Lord, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
