Psalms 17:1-15

[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.
