Psalms 17 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 17 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ Hear a 1just cause, O LORD, 2give heed to my cry;
3Give ear to my prayer, which is not from 4deceitful lips. - Let 5my [a]judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with 6equity. - You have 7tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have 8tested me and 9You find [b]nothing;
I have 10purposed that my mouth will not transgress. - As for the deeds of men, 11by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the 12paths of the violent. - My 13steps have held fast to Your [c]paths.
My 14feet have not slipped. - ¶ I have 15called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
16Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. - 17Wondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O 18Savior of those who take refuge [d]at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them. - Keep me as [e]the 19apple of the eye;
Hide me 20in the shadow of Your wings - From the 21wicked who despoil me,
My 22deadly enemies who surround me. - They have 23closed their [f]unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they 24speak proudly. - They have now 25surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes 26to cast us down to the ground. - He is 27like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion 28lurking in hiding places. - ¶ 29Arise, O LORD, confront him, 30bring him low;
31Deliver my soul from the wicked with 32Your sword, - From men with 33Your hand, O LORD,
From men [g]of the world, 34whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You 35fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babes. - As for me, I shall 36behold Your face in righteousness;
37I will be satisfied [h]with Your 38likeness when I awake.
