Psalm 17

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.

7 (16-7) Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.

8 (16-8) From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.

9 (16-9) From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:

10 (16-10) They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.

11 (16-11) They have cast me forth, and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.

12 (16-12) They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.

13 (16-13) Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one; thy sword

14 (16-14) From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.

15 (16-15) But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

New Living Translation NLT

1 O LORD, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, for it comes from honest lips.

2 Declare me innocent, for you see those who do right.

3 You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin in what I say.

4 I have followed your commands, which keep me from following cruel and evil people.

5 My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.

6 I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.

7 Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies.

8 Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

9 Protect me from wicked people who attack me, from murderous enemies who surround me.

10 They are without pity. Listen to their boasting!

11 They track me down and surround me, watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.

12 They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart— like young lions hiding in ambush.

13 Arise, O LORD ! Stand against them, and bring them to their knees! Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!

14 By the power of your hand, O LORD, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.

15 Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.
