International Children’s Bible

A Prayer for Protection

A prayer of David.

17 Lord, hear me begging for fairness.
    Listen to my cry for help.
Pay attention to my prayer.
    I speak the truth.
2 You will judge that I am right.
    Your eyes can see what is true.
3 You have examined my heart.
    You have tested me all night.
You questioned me without finding anything wrong.
    I did not plan any evil.
