Psalm 17:1

Contemporary English Version

¹I am innocent, Lord!
Won't you listen as I pray
and beg for help?
I am honest!
Please hear my prayer.

Psalm 17:1

King James Version

17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

⁵I have followed you,
without ever stumbling.

⁶I pray to you, God,
because you will help me.
Listen and answer my prayer!

⁵Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

⁶I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

⁸Protect me as you would
your very own eyes;
hide me in the shadow
of your wings.

⁸Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

¹⁵I am innocent, Lord,
and I will see your face!
When I awake, all I want
is to see you as you are.

¹⁵As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
