ULT by section PSA 17:1

The Book of Psalms 17

A prayer of David.

17 A prayer of David. Listen Yahweh to righteousness. Pay attention to my cry!

Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit.

2 Let my vindication come from your face; let your eyes see rightly!

3 You have examined my heart, you have visited me in the night,

you have tested me and have detected nothing. I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

4 With regard to the actions of man, by the word of your lips I have kept myself away from the paths of the violent.

5 My steps hold firmly to your tracks; my footsteps have not slipped.

6 I have called upon you, for you will answer me, God; Incline your ear to me; listen to my speech.

7 Set apart your covenant faithfulness, you the one saving by your right hand, the ones seeking refuge in you from those rising up!

8 Keep me as the pupil of your eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings,

9 from the faces of the wicked who deal violently with me, the ones being hostile against my soul, they surround me.

10 Their fat they have closed up; with their mouths they speak with pride.

11 They have surrounded me now in our steps. Their eyes they have set, crouching down to the earth.

12 His likeness is as a lion, he longs to tear; and as a young lion he is dwelling in hiding places.

13 Arise, Yahweh, confront his face, make him bow down! Rescue my soul from the wicked with your sword!

14 From men with your hand Yahweh, from men from the world, their portion in life,

and with your treasure you fill their belly. They are satisfied with sons, and they leave their abundance to their children.

15 I, in righteousness, will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with your manifestation.
