Psalms 17-Recovery Version

【RCV】Psalms 17

1
Hear, O Jehovah, what is righteous; Give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, Which is not made with lips of deceit.
2
May a judgment for me come forth from Your presence; May Your eyes regard equity.
3
You have examined my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tried me: You have found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth will not transgress.
4
Regarding the works of man, by the word of Your lips, I have kept myself from the paths of the violent man.
5
My steps have held fast to Your tracks; My footsteps have not slipped.
6
I call on You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me; hear my speaking.
7
Wondrously display Your lovingkindness, You who save by Your right hand Those who take refuge in You from them who rise up against them.
8
Guard me like the pupil of Your eye; In the shadow of Your wings hide me
9
From the presence of the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies, who close in upon me.
10
They have shut up their fat hearts; With their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11
Now they have surrounded us in our steps; They have fixed their eyes on casting us down to the ground.
12
He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And like a young lion lurking in hidden places.
13
Arise, O Jehovah, confront him; bring him down. With Your sword rescue my soul from the wicked man,
14
From mortal men with Your hand, O Jehovah, From mortal men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And they leave their abundance for their little ones.
15
As for me, in righteousness I will behold Your face; When I awake, I will be satisfied with Your likeness.
