LSV PSA Chapter 17

17 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Hear, O YHWH, righteousness, attend my cry,
Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit. 2 My judgment goes out from before You; Your eyes see uprightly. 3 You have proved my heart,
You have inspected by night,
You have tried me, You find nothing; My thoughts do not pass over my mouth. 4 As for doings of man,
Through a word of Your lips I have observed
The paths of a destroyer; 5 To uphold my goings in Your paths,
My steps have not slipped. 6 I called You, for You answer me,
O God, incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. 7 Separate Your kindness wonderfully, O Savior of the confiding,
By Your right hand, from withstanders. 8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings, 9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me,
[From] my enemies in soul who go around against me. 10 They have closed up their fat,
Their mouths have spoken with pride: 11 “Our steps have now surrounded [him]”; They set their eyes to turn aside in the land. 12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear,
As a young lion dwelling in secret places. 13 Arise, O YHWH, go before his face,
Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Your sword, 14 From men, Your hand, O YHWH,
From men of the world, their portion [is] in life,
And [with] Your hidden things You fill their belly,
They are satisfied [with] sons,
And have left their abundance to their sucklings. 15 I—in righteousness,
I see Your face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Your form!
