  17:1 ¶
[[A prayer of David.]] Hearken, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips. |
|
17:1 ¶
[[A Prayer°
of David.]]°
Hear°°
the right,°
O Yahweh,°
attend°°
unto my cry,°
give ear°°
unto my prayer,°
[that goeth] not°
out of feigned°
lips.° |
|
17:2
Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness. |
|
17:2
Let my sentence°
come forth°°
from thy presence;°°
let thine eyes°
behold°°
the things that are equal.° |
|
17:3
Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] by night; thou hast tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss]. |
|
17:3
Thou hast proved°°
mine heart;°
thou hast visited°°
[me] in the night;°
thou hast tried°°
me, [and] shalt find°°
nothing;°
I am purposed°°
[that] my mouth°
shall not°
transgress.°° |
|
17:4
As for the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways. |
|
17:4
Concerning the works°
of men,°
by the word°
of thy lips°
I°
have kept°°
[me from] the paths°
of the destroyer.° |
|
17:5
Direct my steps in thy paths, that my steps slip not. |
|
17:5
Hold up°°
my goings°
in thy paths,°
[that] my footsteps°
slip°°
not.° |
|
17:6
I have cried, for thou heardest me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken to my words. |
|
17:6
I°
have called°°
upon°
thee, for°
thou wilt hear°°
me, O El:°
incline°°
thine ear°
unto me, [and hear]°°
my speech.° |
|
17:7
Shew the marvels of thy mercies, thou that savest them that hope in thee. |
|
17:7
Shew thy marvellous°°
lovingkindness,°°
O thou that savest°°
by thy right hand°
them which put their trust°°
[in thee] from those that rise up°°°
[against them]. |
|
17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist thy right hand: thou shalt screen me by the covering of thy wings, |
|
17:8
Keep°°
me as the apple°°
of the eye,°°
hide°°
me under the shadow°
of thy wings,° |
|
17:9
from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul. |
|
17:9
From°°
the wicked°
that°
oppress°°
me, [from] my deadly°
enemies,°°
[who] compass me about.°°° |
|
17:10
They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride. |
|
17:10
They are inclosed°°
in°
their own fat:°
with their mouth°
they speak°°
proudly.° |
|
17:11
They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground. |
|
17:11
They have now°
compassed°°
us in our steps:°
they have set°°
their eyes°
bowing down°°
to the earth;° |
|
17:12
They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret [places]. |
|
17:12
Like°
as a lion°
[that] is greedy°°
of his prey,°°
and as it were a young lion°
lurking°°
in secret places.° |
|
17:13
Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] thy sword, |
|
17:13
Arise,°°
O Yahweh,°
disappoint°°°
him,°
cast him down:°°
deliver°°
my soul°
from the wicked,°°
[which is] thy sword:° |
|
17:14
because of the enemies of thine hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with thy hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes. |
|
17:14
From men°°
[which are] thy hand,°
O Yahweh,°
from men°°
of the world,°°
[which have] their portion°
in [this] life,°
and whose belly°
thou fillest°°
with thy hid°°
[treasure]: they are full°°
of children,°
and leave°°°
the rest°
of their [substance] to their babes.° |
|
17:15
But I shall appear in righteousness before thy face: I shall be satisfied when thy glory appears. |
|
17:15
As for me,°
I will behold°°
thy face°
in righteousness:°
I shall be satisfied,°°
when I awake,°°
with thy likeness.° |
