      Psalm 17 (Listen)

      In the Shadow of Your Wings

      A Prayer of David.

      17:1   Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry!
          Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
      2   From your presence let my vindication come!
          Let your eyes behold the right!
      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.
      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.
      6   I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
          incline your ear to me; hear my words.
      7   Wondrously show1 your steadfast love,
          O Savior of those who seek refuge
          from their adversaries at your right hand.
      8   Keep me as the apple of your eye;
          hide me in the shadow of your wings,
      9   from the wicked who do me violence,
          my deadly enemies who surround me.
      10   They close their hearts to pity;
          with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
      11   They have now surrounded our steps;
          they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.
      12   He is like a lion eager to tear,
          as a young lion lurking in ambush.
      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.
      15   As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;
          when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

      Psalm - 17:7 Or Distinguish me by
      Psalm - 17:14 Or from men whose portion in life is of the world
      Psalm - 17:14 Or As for your treasured ones, you fill their womb
