Psalm 17

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! (Ps 61:1; Ps 86:1; Ps 142:1; Ps 142:6; Jer 7:16)2 From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right! (Ps 26:1)3 You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. (Jud 7:4; Job 23:10; Job 31:14; Job 33:15; Ps 16:7; Ps 139:1; Zec 13:9; Mal 3:2; 1Pe 1:7)4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.5 My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped. (Job 23:11; Ps 44:18)6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words. (Ps 31:2; Ps 86:6; Ps 116:1)7 Wondrously show[1] your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand. (Ps 31:21; Ps 44:5; Ps 59:1; Ps 139:21)8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, (De 32:10; Ru 2:12; Ps 36:7; Ps 57:1; Ps 63:7; Ps 91:4; Zec 2:8; Mt 23:37; Lu 13:34)9 from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me. (1Sa 23:26)10 They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly. (1Sa 2:3; Ps 31:18; Ps 119:70)11 They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground. (Ps 62:4; Ps 89:51)12 He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush. (Ps 10:8)13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,14 from men by your hand, O Lord, from men of the world whose portion is in this life.[2] You fill their womb with treasure;[3] they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants. (Job 21:11; Ps 10:18; Mt 6:2; Mt 6:5; Mt 6:16; Lu 16:8; Lu 16:25; Lu 20:34)15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness. (Job 33:26; Ps 11:7; Ps 16:11; Isa 26:19; Da 12:2; 1Jo 3:2)

from Biblica
1 耶和华啊, 求你听我祈求公义的声音, 侧耳听我的呼求, 垂听我真诚的祷告。2 愿你宣判我无罪, 愿你明察是非。3 你试验过我的心思, 夜间鉴察过我,磨炼过我, 找不出任何过犯; 我立志口不犯罪。4 我遵守你的教导,洁身自守, 不与残暴之徒同流。5 我坚定地走你的道路, 从未偏离。6 上帝啊!我向你祈祷, 因为你必应允我。 求你垂听我的祷告。7 求你彰显你奇妙的慈爱, 用右手拯救投靠你的人脱离仇敌。8 求你保护我,像保护眼中的瞳仁, 用你的翅膀荫庇我,9 救我脱离恶人的攻击, 脱离四围杀气腾腾的仇敌。10 他们良心丧尽,口出狂言。11 他们穷追围堵, 伺机把我打倒在地。12 他们像急于撕碎猎物的饿狮, 又像蹲伏在暗处的猛狮。13 耶和华啊, 求你起来迎头击倒他们, 求你持刀救我脱离恶人。14 耶和华啊, 求你伸手救我脱离这些人, 脱离这些只在今生有福分的世人。 你使他们财宝无数。 他们儿女众多, 还把财富留给子孙。15 但我因持守公义必见你的面; 我醒来见到你就心满意足了。
