17:1 A Prayer 8605 of David 1732. Hear 8085 8798 the right 6664, O LORD 3068, attend 7181 8685 unto my cry 7440, give ear 238 8685 unto my prayer 8605, [that goeth] not 3808 out of feigned 4820 lips 8193.(the right: Heb. justice)(not…: Heb. without lips of deceit)

17:2 Let my sentence 4941 come forth 3318 8799 from thy presence 6440; let thine eyes 5869 behold 2372 8799 the things that are equal 4339.

17:3 Thou hast proved 974 8804 mine heart 3820; thou hast visited 6485 8804 [me] in the night 3915; thou hast tried 6884 8804 me, [and] shalt find 4672 8799 nothing; I am purposed 2161 8800 [that] my mouth 6310 shall not transgress 5674 8799.

17:4 Concerning the works 6468 of men 120, by the word 1697 of thy lips 8193 I have kept 8104 8804 [me from] the paths 734 of the destroyer 6530.

17:5 Hold up 8551 8800 my goings 838 in thy paths 4570, [that] my footsteps 6471 slip 4131 8738 not.(slip…: Heb. be not moved)

17:6 I have called 7121 8804 upon thee, for thou wilt hear 6030 8799 me, O God 410: incline 5186 8685 thine ear 241 unto me, [and hear 8085 8798] my speech 565.

17:7 Shew thy marvellous 6395 8685 lovingkindness 2617, O thou that savest 3467 8688 by thy right hand 3225 them which put their trust 2620 8802 [in thee] from those that rise up 6965 8693 [against them].(by thy…: or, them which trust in thee from those that rise up against thy right hand)

17:8 Keep 8104 8798 me as the apple 380 of the eye 1323 5869, hide 5641 8686 me under the shadow 6738 of thy wings 3671,

17:9 From 6440 the wicked 7563 that 2098 oppress 7703 8804 me, [from] my deadly 5315 enemies 341 8802, [who] compass me about 5362 8686.(oppress: Heb. waste)(my…: Heb. my enemies against the soul)

17:10 They are inclosed 5462 8804 in their own fat 2459: with their mouth 6310 they speak 1696 8765 proudly 1348.

17:11 They have now compassed 5437 8804 us in our steps 838: they have set 7896 8799 their eyes 5869 bowing down 5186 8800 to the earth 776;

17:12 Like 1825 as a lion 738 [that] is greedy 3700 8799 of his prey 2963 8800, and as it were a young lion 3715 lurking 3427 8802 in secret places 4565.(Like…: Heb. The likeness of him (that is, of every one of them) is as a lion that desireth to ravin)(lurking: Heb. sitting)

17:13 Arise 6965 8798, O LORD 3068, disappoint 6923 8761 him 6440, cast him down 3766 8685: deliver 6403 8761 my soul 5315 from the wicked 7563, [which is] thy sword 2719:(disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face)(which is: or, by)

17:14 From men 4962 [which are] thy hand 3027, O LORD 3068, from men 4962 of the world 2465, [which have] their portion 2506 in [this] life 2416, and whose belly 990 thou fillest 4390 8762 with thy hid 6840 [treasure]: they are full 7646 8799 of children 1121, and leave 3240 8689 the rest 3499 of their [substance] to their babes 5768.(which are: or, by)(they…: or, their children are full)

17:15 As for me, I will behold 2372 8799 thy face 6440 in righteousness 6664: I shall be satisfied 7646 8799, when I awake 6974 8687, with thy likeness 8544.
