Psalm 17 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

May my [fn]judgment ^H4941 come ^H3318 from Your presence ^H6440;

May Your eyes ^H5869 behold ^H2372 what is upright ^H4339.

You have tested ^H974 my heart ^H3820;

You have visited ^H6485 me by night ^H3915;

You have tried ^H6884 me and You find ^H4672 [fn]nothing ^H1077;

I have purposed ^H2161 that my mouth ^H6310 will not [fn]transgress ^H5674.

As for the deeds ^H6468 of men ^H120, by the word ^H1697 of Your lips ^H8193

I have kept ^H8104 from the paths ^H734 of the violent ^H6530.

My steps ^H838 have held ^H8551 fast ^H8551 to Your [fn]paths ^H4570.

My footsteps ^H6471 have not stumbled ^H4131.

I have called ^H7121 upon You, for You will answer ^H6030 me, O God ^H410;

Incline ^H5186 Your ear ^H241 to me, hear ^H8085 my speech ^H565.

Marvelously ^H6381 show ^H6381 Your lovingkindnesses ^H2617,

O Savior ^H3467 of those who take ^H2620 refuge ^H2620 [fn]at Your right ^H3225 hand ^H3225

From those who rise ^H6965 up ^H6965 against them.

Keep ^H8104 me as [fn]the apple ^H380 of the eye ^H5869;

Hide ^H5641 me in the shadow ^H6738 of Your wings ^H3671

From the wicked ^H7563 who devastate ^H7703 me,

My deadly ^H5315 enemies ^H340 who surround ^H5362 me.

They have closed ^H5462 their [fn]unfeeling ^H2459 heart,

With their mouth ^H6310 they speak ^H1696 proudly ^H1348.

They have now ^H6258 surrounded ^H5437 us in our steps ^H838;

They set ^H7896 their eyes ^H5869 to cast ^H5186 us down ^H5186 to the ground ^H776.

He is like ^H1825 a lion ^H738 that is eager ^H3700 to tear ^H2963,

And as a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715 lurking ^H3427 in hiding ^H4565 places ^H4565.

Arise ^H6965, O Yahweh ^H3068, confront ^H6923 him, bring ^H3766 him low ^H3766;

Protect ^H6403 my soul ^H5315 from the wicked ^H7563 with Your sword ^H2719,

From men ^H4962 with Your hand ^H3027, O Yahweh ^H3068,

From men ^H4962 [fn]of the world ^H2465, whose portion ^H2506 is in this life ^H2416,

And whose belly ^H990 You fill ^H4390 with Your treasure ^H6840;

They are ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with children ^H1121,

And leave ^H5117 their excess ^H3499 to their infants ^H5768.

As for me, I shall behold ^H2372 Your face ^H6440 in righteousness ^H6664;

I will be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 [fn]with Your likeness ^H8544 when I awake ^H6974.
