Psalms 17 (HCSB)

Psalms Chapter 17 (HCSB)

Compare with Version:

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 examined me at night. You have tried me and found nothing evil; ⓔ I have determined that my mouth will not sin. [1]

⁴ Concerning what people do: by the word of Your lips [2] 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. [3]

⁸ Protect me as the pupil of Your eye; ⓚ hide me in the shadow of Your wings ⓛ

⁹ from [4] the wicked who treat me violently, [5] my deadly enemies who surround me. ⓜ

¹⁰ They have become hardened; [6] ⓝ their mouths speak arrogantly. ⓞ

¹¹ They advance against me; [7] now they surround me. ⓟ They are determined [8] to throw me to the ground. ⓠ

¹² They are [9] 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. [10] ⓦ
