1(17) A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.
1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2Let my judgment come forth from your presence; let my eyes behold righteousness.
2O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3You have tested my heart; you have visited [me] by night; you have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4As for the works of men, by the words of your lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5Direct my steps in your paths, that my steps slip not.
5The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6I have cried, for you heard me , O God: incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7Show the marvels of your mercies, you that save them that hope in you.
7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist your right hand: you shall screen me by the covering of your wings,
8I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: my enemies have compassed about my soul.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.
11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
