Psalm 17

	Psa 17:1	A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O LORD, Attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer [which is] not from deceitful lips.
	Psa 17:2	Let my vindication come from Your presence; Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.
	Psa 17:3	You have tested my heart; You have visited [me] in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
	Psa 17:4	Concerning the works of men, By the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.
	Psa 17:5	Uphold my steps in Your paths, [That] my footsteps may not slip.
	Psa 17:6	I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, [and] hear my speech.
	Psa 17:7	Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust [in You] From those who rise up [against them].
	Psa 17:8	Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
	Psa 17:9	From the wicked who oppress me, [From] my deadly enemies who surround me.
	Psa 17:10	They have closed up their fat [hearts]; With their mouths they speak proudly.
	Psa 17:11	They have now surrounded us in our steps; They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
	Psa 17:12	As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
	Psa 17:13	Arise, O LORD, Confront him, cast him down; Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
	Psa 17:14	With Your hand from men, O LORD, From men of the world [who have] their portion in [this] life, And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their [possession] for their babes.
	Psa 17:15	As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
