投靠耶和华者得脱恶敌

17 大卫的祈祷。

耶和华啊,求你听闻公义,侧耳听我的呼吁,求你留心听我这不出于诡诈嘴唇的祈祷。
愿我的判语从你面前发出,愿你的眼睛观看公正。
你已经试验我的心,你在夜间鉴察我,你熬炼我,却找不着什么。我立志叫我口中没有过失。
论到人的行为,我借着你嘴唇的言语,自己谨守,不行强暴人的道路。
我的脚踏定了你的路径,我的两脚未曾滑跌。
神啊,我曾求告你,因为你必应允我,求你向我侧耳,听我的言语。
求你显出你奇妙的慈爱来,你是那用右手拯救投靠你的,脱离起来攻击他们的人。
求你保护我,如同保护眼中的瞳人,将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下,
使我脱离那欺压我的恶人,就是围困我,要害我命的仇敌。
10 他们的心被脂油包裹,他们用口说骄傲的话。
11 他们围困了我们的脚步,他们瞪着眼,要把我们推倒在地。
12 他像狮子急要抓食,又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。
13 耶和华啊,求你起来,前去迎敌,将他打倒,用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。
14 耶和华啊,求你用手救我脱离世人,脱离那只在今生有福分的世人。你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹,他们因有儿女就心满意足,将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。
15 至于我,我必在义中见你的面;我醒了的时候得见[a]你的形象,就心满意足了。

Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.

A Prayer of David.

17 Hear a (A)just cause, O Lord, (B)give heed to my cry;
(C)Give ear to my prayer, which is not from (D)deceitful lips.
Let (E)my [a]judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with (F)equity.
You have (G)tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have (H)tested me and (I)You find [b]nothing;
I have (J)purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
As for the deeds of men, (K)by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the (L)paths of the violent.
My (M)steps have held fast to Your [c]paths.
My (N)feet have not slipped.

I have (O)called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
(P)Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
(Q)Wondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O (R)Savior of those who take refuge [d]at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
Keep me as [e]the (S)apple of the eye;
Hide me (T)in the shadow of Your wings
From the (U)wicked who despoil me,
My (V)deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have (W)closed their [f]unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they (X)speak proudly.
11 They have now (Y)surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes (Z)to cast us down to the ground.
12 He is (AA)like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion (AB)lurking in hiding places.

13 (AC)Arise, O Lord, confront him, (AD)bring him low;
(AE)Deliver my soul from the wicked with (AF)Your sword,
14 From men with (AG)Your hand, O Lord,
From men [g]of the world, (AH)whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You (AI)fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babes.
15 As for me, I shall (AJ)behold Your face in righteousness;
(AK)I will be satisfied [h]with Your (AL)likeness when I awake.
