17:1 A
prayer
of
Dauid.
Heare
the
right,
O
Lord,
attend
vnto
my
crie,
giue
eare
vnto
my
prayer,
that
goeth
not
out
of
fained
lips.
17:2 Let
my
sentence
come
forth
from
thy
presence:
let
thine
eyes
beholde
the
things
that
are
equall.
17:3 Thou
hast
prooued
mine
heart,
thou
hast
visited
me
in
the
night,
thou
hast
tried
me,
and
shalt
find
nothing:
I
am
purposed
that
my
mouth
shall
not
transgresse.
17:4 Concerning
the
workes
of
men,
by
the
word
of
thy
lips,
I
haue
kept
me
from
the
paths
of
the
destroyer.
17:5 Hold
vp
my
goings
in
thy
paths,
that
my
footsteps
slip
not.
17:6 I
haue
called
vpon
thee,
for
thou
wilt
heare
me,
O
God:
incline
thine
eare
vnto
me,
and
heare
my
speach.
17:7 Shewe
thy
marueilous
louing
kindnesse,
O
thou
that
sauest
by
thy
right
hand,
them
which
put
their
trust
in
thee,
fro
those
that
rise
vp
against
them.
17:8 Keepe
me
as
the
apple
of
the
eye:
hide
mee
vnder
the
shadowe
of
thy
wings,
17:9 From
the
wicked
that
oppresse
me,
from
my
deadly
enemies,
who
compasse
me
about.
17:10 They
are
inclosed
in
their
owne
fat:
with
their
mouth
they
speake
proudly.
17:11 They
haue
now
compassed
vs
in
our
steps:
they
haue
set
their
eyes
bowing
downe
to
the
earth:
17:12 Like
as
a
lyon
that
is
greedie
of
his
pray,
and
as
it
were
a
yong
lyon
lurking
in
secret
places.
17:13 Arise,
O
Lord,
disappoint
him,
cast
him
downe:
deliuer
my
soule
from
the
wicked,
which
is
thy
sword:
17:14 From
men
which
are
thy
hand,
O
Lord,
from
men
of
the
world,
which
haue
their
portion
in
this
life,
and
whose
belly
thou
fillest
with
thy
hid
treasure:
They
are
full
of
children,
and
leaue
the
rest
of
their
substance
to
their
babes.
17:15 As
for
me,
I
will
behold
thy
face
in
righteousnesse:
I
shall
bee
satisfied,
when
I
awake,
with
thy
likenesse.
