Psalm 17

Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.

A Prayer of David.

1Hear a just cause, Lord, give Your attention to my cry;
Listen to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2Let my judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with integrity.
3You have put my heart to the test;
You have visited me by night;
You have sifted me and You find nothing;
My intent is that my mouth will not offend.
4As for the works of mankind, by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the ways of the violent.
5My steps have held to Your paths.
My feet have not slipped.
6I have called upon You, for You will answer me, God;
Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7Show Your wonderful faithfulness,
Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
