Psalm 17  New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ I have ^(O)called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
^(P)Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
^7 (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.
⁸ Keep me as ^[e]the ^(S)apple of the eye;
Hide me ^(T)in the shadow of Your wings
⁹ 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.
