Psalm Chapter 17

0:00Psalm 17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, Give ye unto my prayer that goeth not out of vain lips. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, Let thy eyes behold the things that are equal. Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast visited me in the night, Thou hast tried me, and shall find nothing. I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress, Concerning the works of men by the word of thy lips, I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God, Inclined thy ear unto me, and hear my speech, Show thy marvelous loving kindness, Thou thou that save us by thy right hand, Them which put their trust in thee,

1:00From those that rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of the eye, Hide me under the shadow of thy wings. From the wicked that oppress me, From my deadly enemies who compass me about, They are enclosed in their own fat, With their mouth they speak proudly. They have now compassed us in our steps. They have set their eyes bowing down to the earth, Like as a lion that is greedy of this prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places, A rise on Lord, disappoint him, cast him down, Deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword. From men, which are thy hand, O Lord, From men of the world, which have their portion in this life, In whose belly thou fellest with thot, hid treasure. They are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance To their babes. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy lightness.
