Psalm 17:3-5
The Message
Psalm 17:3-5
The Message
3 Go ahead, examine me from inside out,
surprise me in the middle of the night—
You’ll find I’m just what I say I am.
My words don’t run loose.
4-5 I’m not trying to get my way
in the world’s way.
I’m trying to get your way,
your Word’s way.
I’m staying on your trail;
I’m putting one foot
In front of the other.
I’m not giving up.
Psalm 17:3-5
New International Version
Psalm 17:3-5
New International Version
3 Though you probe my heart,(A)
though you examine me at night and test me,(B)
you will find that I have planned no evil;(C)
my mouth has not transgressed.(D)
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;(E)
my feet have not stumbled.(F)
