Psalms 17:1-7

The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.

Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.

Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.

Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.

I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.

Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
