Psalms 17

1 David, in confidence of his integrity, craveth defence of God against his enemies. 10 He sheweth their pride, craft, and eagerness. 13 He prayeth against them in confidence of his hope.

 17:1 ¶ [[A Prayer 8605 of David.]] 1732 Hear 8085 z8798 the right, 6664 O LORD, 3068 attend 7181 z8685 unto my cry, 7440 give ear 238 z8685 unto my prayer, 8605 [that goeth] not 3808 out of feigned 4820 lips. 8193

 17:2 Let my sentence 4941 come forth 3318 z8799 from thy presence; 6440 x4480 let thine eyes 5869 behold 2372 z8799 the things that are equal. 4339

 17:3 Thou hast proved 974 z8804 mine heart; 3820 thou hast visited 6485 z8804 [me] in the night; 3915 thou hast tried 6884 z8804 me, [and] shalt find 4672 z8799 nothing; x1077 I am purposed 2161 z8800 [that] my mouth 6310 shall not x1077 transgress. 5674 z8799

 17:4 Concerning the works 6468 of men, 120 by the word 1697 of thy lips 8193 I x589 have kept 8104 z8804 [me from] the paths 734 of the destroyer. 6530

 17:5 Hold up 8551 z8800 my goings 838 in thy paths, 4570 [that] my footsteps 6471 slip 4131 z8738 not. x1077

 17:6 I x589 have called y7121 z8804 upon x7121 thee, for x3588 thou wilt hear 6030 z8799 me, O God: 410 incline 5186 z8685 thine ear 241 unto me, [and hear] 8085 z8798 my speech. 565

 17:7 Shew thy marvellous y6395 z8685 lovingkindness, 2617 x6395 O thou that savest 3467 z8688 by thy right hand 3225 them which put their trust 2620 z8802 [in thee] from those that rise up 6965 z8693 x4480 [against them].

 17:8 Keep 8104 z8798 me as the apple 380 x1323 of the eye, 5869 y1323 hide 5641 z8686 me under the shadow 6738 of thy wings, 3671

 17:9 From 6440 x4480 the wicked 7563 that 2098 oppress 7703 z8804 me, [from] my deadly 5315 enemies, 341 z8802 [who] compass me about. 5362 z8686 x5921

 17:10 They are inclosed y5462 z8804 in x5462 their own fat: 2459 with their mouth 6310 they speak 1696 z8765 proudly. 1348

 17:11 They have now x6258 compassed 5437 z8804 us in our steps: 838 they have set 7896 z8799 their eyes 5869 bowing down 5186 z8800 to the earth; 776

 17:12 Like 1825 as a lion 738 [that] is greedy 3700 z8799 of his prey, 2963 z8800 and as it were a young lion 3715 lurking 3427 z8802 in secret places. 4565

 17:13 Arise, 6965 z8798 O LORD, 3068 disappoint 6923 z8761 x6440 him, y6440 cast him down: 3766 z8685 deliver 6403 z8761 my soul 5315 from the wicked, 7563 x4480 [which is] thy sword: 2719

 17:14 From men 4962 x4480 [which are] thy hand, 3027 O LORD, 3068 from men 4962 x4480 of the world, 2465 x4480 [which have] their portion 2506 in [this] life, 2416 and whose belly 990 thou fillest 4390 z8762 with thy hid y6840 x6845 [treasure]: they are full 7646 z8799 of children, 1121 and leave y3240 z8689 x5117 the rest 3499 of their [substance] to their babes. 5768

 17:15 As for me, x589 I will behold 2372 z8799 thy face 6440 in righteousness: 6664 I shall be satisfied, 7646 z8799 when I awake, 6974 z8687 with thy likeness. 8544
