PSALMS 17
1
Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
2
You are the one who is able to declare that I ◄am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong► because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
3
You know what I think, even at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
4
I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
5
I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have ◄never failed to do/always done► [LIT] those things.
6
O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
7
Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who ◄run to/trust in► you to protect them from their enemies.
8
Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like birds protect their babies under their wings [MET].
9
Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
10
They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
11
They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
12
They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce on their prey.
13
Yahweh, come and ◄oppose/fight against► my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
14
Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested only in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
15
Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will some day see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
