MOF PSA Chapter 17

PSA 17 ©

A prayer of David.

17Listen to the innocent, Eternal One, and heed our wail,

hear prayers we pour from honest lips;

2speed thy sentence in our favour,

that our eyes may see it.

3For in thine equity thou hast tried our heart,

searching us out by night;

thou hast tested us and hast found nothing wrong,

no evil thought, no sin of speech;

4under thy dealings we are silent,

heeding thy words;

5we have kept close to thy track,

our feet have never faltered;

6and so we call on thee, O God, to answer us;

bend thine ear to us, listen to our plea.

7Strong saviour, in thy kindness interpose,

for those who shelter with thee from their foes;

8guard us as thine own eye,

hide us under the shadow of thy wings,

9from the ungodly who would harry us,

the eager enemies that encircle us.

10Their hearts are closed to pity,

their words are insolent;

11at every step they dog us,

alert to pull us down,

12like lions longing to devour,

like lions lurking for their prey.

13Up, O Eternal, face them, crush them;

let thy sword save us from ungodly men!

14May thy hand slay them, O Eternal,

sweep them out of the world!

Yet give them here their due of doom, sating their sons with it,

let them leave some for their children!

15But may our innocent lives enjoy thy favour,

may we be satisfied when we wake to see thy vision.
