Psalms 17 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Psalm 17Prayer for Deliverance from PersecutorsA Prayer of David.

1Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry;

give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit.

2From you let my vindication come;

let your eyes see the right.

3 now they surround me;

they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.

12 Ps 7.2; 10.9 They are like a lion eager to tear,

like a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Ps 7.12; 22.20; 73.18 Rise up, O Lord, confront them, overthrow them!

By your sword deliver my life from the wicked,

14 Job 21.11; Ps 73.3–7; Isa 2.7; Lk 16.8 from mortals—by your hand, O Lord—

from mortals whose portion in life is in this world.

May their bellies be filled with what you have stored up for them;

may their children have more than enough;

may they leave something over to their little ones.

15 Ps 4.6, 7; 16.11; 1 Jn 3.2 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;

when I awake I shall be satisfied, beholding your likeness.
