Psalm 17 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)17 1 Here he complaineth to God of the cruel pride and arrogance of Saul, and the rest of his enemies, who thus raged without any cause given on his part. 6 Therefore he desireth God to revenge his innocence and deliver him. The prayer of David.1 Hear [a]the right, O Lord, consider my cry: hearken unto my prayer of lips unfeigned. 2 Let my [b]sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes behold equity. 3 Thou hast [c]proved and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tried me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my [d]mouth should not offend. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the [e]words of thy lips I kept me from the paths of the cruel man. 5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feet do not slide. 6 I have called upon thee: [f]surely thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words. 7 Show thy marvelous mercies: thou that art the Savior of them that trust in thee, from such as [g]resist thy right hand. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye: hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 9 From the wicked that oppress me, from mine enemies, which compass me round about for [h]my soul. 10 They are enclosed in their own [i]fat, and they have spoken proudly with their mouth. 11 They have compassed us now in our steps: they have set their eyes to bring down to the ground: 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of prey, and as it were a Lion’s whelp lurking in secret places. 13 Up Lord, [j]disappoint him: cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked [k]with thy sword, 14 From men by thine [l]hand, O Lord, from men [m]of the world, who have their [n]portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children have enough, and leave the rest of their substance for their children. 15 But I will behold thy face [o]in righteousness, and when I [p]wake, I shall be satisfied with thine image.
