The King James Version Bible

Psalms 17:1-7

  1. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

  2. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

  3. Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

  4. Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

  5. Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

  6. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

  7. Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
